in reply to The SSSCA, Microsoft's answer to anti-trust?

I've been watching Microsoft watching for some time now. I suppose it's a lot like China-watching used to be back in the '60's. For some time I've believed I was seeing the signs of an empire in decline.

Because Microsoft can no longer attain their goals through the free market, it makes perfect sense that they would attempt to legislate them into being.

I do remember Ed Curry. It's a very disturbing memory. But I'm heartened by the opposition to UCITA, another unreasonable law that was supposed to be really good for us.

Senator Hollings seems to think he's an "Innovator in Technology." I'll be contacting my Senator to point out that Senator Hollings is exactly the opposite. I've had enough. The DMCA and UCITA were bad enough, but this is way over the top.
