I think that by passing this law, using Tor would be an accessory to a crime. They would make Tor illegal. So if you used Tor and gave fake contact info, they may not get *you*, but they will get the guy running a Tor client (assuming he's within the jurisdiction).
This law is far from impossible to implement. It's mearly unreasonable and expensive.
I did complain on there back in the days of the beta1 release, but it was not addressed in the next two beta releases. I know it's beta, and I don't care too much that it doesn't work there, but I don't want to see FF3 officially released with that broken. I'm surprised with how few people notice/complain about it.
I use Gmail chat all the time. But FF3 shows screws up the chat windows. It shows "..." instead of their name, also it shows "..." on several menus. I can't fathom why they would release a browser that doesn't work with one of the most popular sites on the market. I'm sure there are lots of people out there that don't use Gmail (chat), but that's no reason to ignore it.
Just in case someone wanted to share files that are on one of those lists, there is a simple way. Just add a Z or Q to the end of each word in the filename of each mp3 you have. Presto, no more filtering of your songs. This works because the Napster filter looks for exact word matches, and if you add an extra letter, it is no longer an exact word match.
