Wise saying. But I really hope this bill won't pass, because if it does, 
then U.S.A. cant't pride themselves in being home of the free anymore. It's 
simply ridiculous. It inferres so much in personal freedom to develop 
software, that software development will be become a governmental 
controlled thing. I really hope programmers, developers and endusers will 
speak out about this. And somehow I'd really like to see what would happen 
if  all american developers, software-maintainers and programmers went on a 
weeklong strike in protest.
