They sure aren't looking after us, are they...

You know, it sounds great when you hear that congress is going to get off it's collective hind-ends and protect their citizens from spyware. But, when you actually look at Ed Foster's article at Infoworld about the new bill you suddenly remember... they don't work for us.

It protects us against spyware... unless it comes from just about any commercial entity.

So, according to this subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, my privacy is important... unless Paramount Pictures disagrees. This would give RiAA an excellent end-run around those pesky search warrants.

It's bovine fecal material like this right bloody here that makes me pause and attempt to come up with one new idea for a way to be able to afford to build, stock, infrastruct, and defend my own little slice of sovereign territory.

Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
