The news about the bills was brought to our attention by Edward Felten, more famous for having a go at a different Bill. The states in question are Texas, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alaska, Tennessee and Colorado. The proposed legislation is intended to extend the much loathed Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
That's OK by me, as I don't live in any of those states. And when they pass these
extremely dumb-assed laws, and their entire IT industries move out, perhaps, some may choose to relocate to my home state. Make it a helluva lot more convenient for me as I wouldn't have to move out of state for one of those jobs.
On the down side, when their economies completely collapse, they will need more Federal assistance from my tax dollars. :mad: :mad: :mad:
