I don't know if anybody here is from Utah, but it there is could you please get this idiot voted out of the senate. He is definitely in the pocket of the RIAA and the MPAA. I am editing this to include several more of our elected officials. Seems there are two proposed bills floating around.
If the bill he is currently sponsoring gets passed it will basically kill all recording devices.

Here is another: Induce Act (http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/INDUCE.html)
This one was introduced by Patrick Leahy : Protecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Expropriation (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:s.02237:)
I've heard about these. They have the potential to make MP3 players, VCRs, CD burners and a bunch of other very useful devices illegal.
Gee, it's wonderful the way congress is bending over backward (or is that just bending over?) to help the media companies protect their profits! :-/
A government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations...
Isn't the Orrinn that thing Atreyu wore around his neck in "The Neverending Story"?

Here's the info right from the script:
Childlike Empress:
Bastian, why don't you do what you dream, Bastian ?
Bastian:
But I can't ! I have to keep my feet on the ground!
Childlike Empress:
Call my name ! Bastian, please ! Save us !
Bastian:
All right, I'll do it. I'll save you. I will do what I dream!
He climbs up to the window and opens it. He leans out into the storm and calls out the name he had chosen for her.
Bastian:
MOONCHILD!
So it's MOONCHILD after all!
