Wow... most of our ministers don't even know what a computer is, let alone know how to download a bunch of crap and burn it to cd. Doesn't stop them passing laws on technical matters though. That's half the problem- in the absence of knowledge, policy-makers rely on ppl with vested interests (ie the music companies) to explain things to them and shape the law.

Narf: I think if a law is unjust then there is no shame in breaking it. This whole "intellectual property" gig is unjust, and if we all just drop our troUsers and bend over for the sake of law and order then there will be nothing to stop big biz getting what it wants: every idea on the planet up for ransom.
