It is not a good thing, but you may be right. We may need to make some lemonade out of these lemons. Then again, they will ban cryptography.

Well, now that you mention it, they need to find new ways of making sure Obama's economic plan has no chance in hell of even remotely succeeding. This is clearly a win-win for the RIAA/MPAA, fascists, and the anti-Obama crowd, which means that it's anti-American. This is another "ends justify the means" bill that will create more problems than it will solve.

The real question is: Is there a bill which forces them to delete user data after 2 years.There is a difference !!
