I have not read the proposed legislation. I am not saying that I support that legislation, as I don't know what is in it. I AM, however, saying that there is no need to create a NEW law that makes theft of IP illegal. There IS such a thing as censorship, but I don't think that it is the opposite of protecting IP. Does that clarify what I said? -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation * * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * * NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
