Which does, of course, make the legislation entirely acceptable? No. This thread is about this particular piece of legislation, not other money wasting initiatives. That they exist is a non-issue here.

And to be a pedant, if I lived in America this post could make me susceptible to a Federal crime. I'm following the issue, some people could find it annoying and take me to court over it with this law as backing. It's an extreme situation, but the court cases I've seen coming out of America and I wouldn't put it passed you guys to try at some point ...

The other problem is that the internet is incredibly hard to legislate. I live in the UK, thus should not be applied to by American internet regulations, yet their regulations will still invariably affect me.
