Super DMCA Bill In Tennessee

fowlerserpent writes "Middle Tennessee State University's student newspaper Sidelines reports the Super DMCA bill is the hot topic in the state legislature. After a fierce debate the bill has been amended to take the edge off. The Tennessee Digital Freedom Network caught the telecom lobby in the state offguard last year when they put up fierce opposition to the legislation. The original bill would have even made firewall illegal in your home or to be sold in the state, so some of the opponents say."

Do they have any idea what such restictive nastiness does to legitimate businesses? They had to amend that bill so that they wouldn't suffer severe economic damage as companies were forced to connect every computer individually to the internet, and throw their arms open for the now firewall-uninhibited hackers in states OTHER than Tenn. How do they get elected?
