Seems like setting a precedent for "if you send somebody your copyrighted material, you can't be sued" would be useful, especially with respect to RIAA honeypots.
Hell, our technology is in decline, besides making faster computers, what has progressed in the last few decades? Nothing fundamental.
Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
*Enhanced understanding of genetics and genetic engineering *Higher efficiency solar panels and other power generation methods *Improved battery technology *Stronger, lighter, and all-around better materials *Safer cars *No more leaded gasoline anywhere. *Improved telescopes, such as the Hubble *Awesome mars rovers *Atom-level manipulation of compounds *Reduced pollution in pretty much everything *The internet. *GPS
A better question might be "what hasn't progressed?".

Well, the navy has done experiments with trying to use electrodes on the tongue as an input device for divers to create a more intuitive feel for where mines and other objects are. I'd suspect the pentagon would want to eventually create some teleautomatic UAVs or submersibles that feel more natural to control.
Man, these high-frequency programmers are really irritating. I mean, seriously. Who has that short a period? Nobody, that's who. And then asking for more money! Pathetic. It's so sad it hertz.

Err, *they* can't be sued
Isn't this the type of thing that the EFF is for?
