Some realized it was an April Fool's exercise. What was very serious, however, is that in the midst of the absurdity, there was real language proposed by the content industry. The fact that people couldn't tell the difference is very telling. Sherwin Siy, who wrote the bill, has a blog post with the background: http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/1495 Art -- Art Brodsky Communications Director Public Knowledge (202) 518-0020 ext 103 (o) (301) 908-7715 (c) 1875 Connecticut Ave., N.W.
