It's worth noting that on the day that Hollings introduced this bill, Terry McCauliffe shook down two Hollywood moguls for $12 million.

The entertainment industry, not to mention the software industry (read Microsoft), are some of the most successful prosperous industries in the world. And this WITH illegal copying. They are tripping over dollars to pick up dimes. Most people do not pirate simply because they are honest. However, i will not buy Windows XP just becuase of the new, onerous copy-protection scheme. I cannot imagine having my ability to use my computer and make my livlihood held hostage to the whims of Microsoft or anyone else.
