Hi folks

Sorry but I just have to share this too. It is a dangerous trend this article talks about and this makes a stronger case for Open Source to be pushed more aggressively. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) mentioned in the article has shades of a Big Brother in the making !!

Is this really an indication of the shape of things to come ??

SICK OF SOFTWARE? STAY AWAY FROM VIRGINIA (AND MARYLAND TOO)

Crummy UCITA Legislation is Back
Imagine a world where software reviews are illegal. Imagine a world where it's illegal to even criticize a program you don't like. Well you don't have to imagine—them's the law in Virginia and Maryland. OK, so you don't live there. You're still at risk! John C. Dvorak bemoans the state of these moronic laws, and adds a twist of his own—he gets a cool $1,000 every time someone sends him email. Find out how you can protect your rights, and turn your e-mail into gold too!

Best wishes
