    >Fundamentally, what the Hollings bill, the bill authorizing RIAA/MPAA to DDOS your box, and all the rest of Hollywood's laws are about is killing the $600B technology industry to preserve the $10-20B entertainment industry.

    Rather similar to the way during the foot and mouth epedemic last year the farming industry got all the attention and govement aid when in fact it was tourisiam that got hurt bad.

    There was one interview with a small hotlier in the lake district - who commented that his single hotel employed more people than agriculture did in the entire valley!

    Problem is you aint going to make any mony on this - I work on a lot of similar projects

    so 5k is around 5 days work at our rates you have to design the site get Signoff develop the site - then re-doing it when the customer says oh but i want it to work like that(usualy in bizare and stupid ways)

    you have to cover the cost of moving from your development enbironment to the eval box and then on the the live.

    Thats sad - only a cople of years ago (when i worked for BT) I was having a drink with our DBA and some of the other developers and some of our (industrial placements) interns.
