  1. It's never too late by Kultamarja · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A fear of being too late in misplaced in this case. When it comes to issues like legistation it is never too late. Time and again throughout history different nations have had very opressive laws, often strictly against public opinion. And each time in the end they have been changed or made null and void. Or do you see the laws of the third reich still in power in Germany? Laws as biased as the DMCA simply cannot last, arguments like "we fear there is too much momentum, and that we are late" only serve the purpose of drawing more attention to the cause and bringing about the change faster, which is good in this case.

    I say that her heart is in the right place, and where was this kind of commitment four years ago?

    My best wishes and I will support this kind of thing with all of my soul.

    Is she married?
