I'm trying to confirm the source for the email list.

Updated the paragraph regarding the dmca paper.

And yes, I've used an American spell checker, sorry. I'll try fix that now.

The requirement for the bill to have gone through standard process was well evident in the complete lack of any understanding of the technological implications of this bill, :P

In addition to the points you mention above, I'm wondering about the reasonableness of this bill with regards to things like eg flatting situations where there is more than one internet user and/or people who are not necessarily the ISP bill payer using the internet.

Also what about dynamic IP adresses? Could users of these be accused of downloading something which in reality was downloaded by someone they have never even met?

Well written though, thanks!

Thanks. Trying to edit this around getting my actual work done hasn't helped.
