If you are referring to the efforts to gut the DMCA "safe harbor" provisions that will have the opposite effect. Same for the efforts to impose Chinese-style "voluntary" censorship. These sorts of things impose large costs which do not scale with the size of the organization. This will lead to an oligopoly of a few very large heavily regulated organizations, leading to calls for even more regulation. -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA
