I dont know if any of you have seen this but looks to me like another sort of palladium.  Just another way to try and constrict what you do on your computer.  Lets all hope none of this crap ever actually passes.

Check out this site:

Read the bill here:

It's also strange that the white males [the only people who had a say in anything at the time] writing the constitution said "all men are created equal" yet all of them had slaves.

It is oftenly said that 'the tech level on pc's is much higher than a lot of countries in holland'.

I think they mean:
'M$ earns lot of money in holland because of all empty-headed schools and companies that buy herds of computers and put M$ OS BS on it'.
