This smells fishy. The Digital Economy Act isn't harsh enough, so something even more draconian must be done! Think of the children!<p>Given that the Digital Economy Act passed in that weird way that didn't get any discussion, and that a variety of other governments have gotten "help" (<a href="http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/12/three-strikes-typhoid-mary-identified/index.htm#" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/12/three-st...</a>) from the USTR about 3-Strikes laws and etc, why do we belive this is actually "software companies", and not the RIAA and MPAA lobbying via US State Department?
