You are absolutely correct. Maybe the law doesn't need to be address (at least not for this specific idea).
In order for the "free music, donate if you want" plan to succeed, laws like the one this Senator is proposing needs to get passed. It has to be so bad, as to where RIAA artists intrude into your techno personal space.

Recently I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -- Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how this insidious disease manifests itself:
I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trashcan under the table, and notice that the trashcan is full. So I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take m y checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of pop that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the pop aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.?
I see that the pop is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the pop, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye -- they need to be watered. I set the pop down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of pop sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e- mail.
If we can find some way to do this without destroying their machines, we'd be interested in hearing about that
Instead of destroying machines, address the problem: THE LAW.
It is simple. Record labels are loosing out because they are not needed (as they were in the past) to acquire music. If a service is no longer in demand, no law should defend that service that is no longer in need. It is stinking up our free market.
Richard Stallman has a great idea. In my media player, I should be able to quickly and easily donate money directly to the artist. How many of you would set aside a dollar or two to give to the artists whom you really enjoy? That would probably be more than the artists make on royalties now anyway. It also gets rid of the unneeded middleman.
If you don't know what a Mesh Network is, you should read up on it. There are some very cool applications.
You can fly in a helicopter at 300 mph+ and sustain an Internet Connection.
City governments are also using this technology to deploy cameras around their cities.
Any kind of technology is always scary when government gets ahold of it. However, I still have some questions about it's security though.
I can say whatever I want, and I don't need to provide anyone with a forum for rebuttle.
If I am a slanted publication, it will soon be obvious and I will not succeed in comparison to more balanced news sources. For instance, look at the success of the Fox News Channel.
It is an individual's responsibility for acquiring information from several sources in order to gain an understanding of what is "really" going on.
The Internet is free (as in freedom). It will be painful to see this freedom slowly ripped away from the people who embrace it.
In order for this to be useful wouldn't there have to be multiple 'smart bricks' on a single wall.
Measuring the stress of a brick wall at one focal point isn't very useful. What about having multiple smart bricks on each wall. The bricks should communicate with each other in order to create a total assessment of the wall's integrity.

Just a thought...
The maximum forward speed of a helicopter is limited to about 250 mph (402 km/h).
I stand corrected.
You can fly an airplane at 300 mph+ and sustain an Internet Connection.
