The thing to consider is the freedom of the press to protect their sources, according to this definition would also make those journalist with even the most sterling of press credentials, cretins criminals, subject to prosecution under this law… Because all of them to a person, depend upon anonymous sources so that i.e. if one quotes an anonymous source for drawing criticism then one is then guilty by de facto. It is an incongruous and simply incompatible with the principles of democracy who’s very foundation is a free press. But this unlikely law seems powered by those in positions of power with the big bucks and thin skin who can control large segments of cyberspace by a means of simply buying out the large encoded portals that cater to certain sections of the demographic population that make use of the net and then by means of their Terms of Service, hold their membership captive for any kind of abuse (such as Internet long distant loan sharking activity) or anything that they might deem themselves able to get away. This law helps no one but the inside influence peddlers and corrupt politicians, corporation executives, and inside lobbyist who feel that they do have something to hide. In these days of the Jack Abramoff style of corruption scandal (which promises to dwarf any outrage we have yet to witnessed in our lifetime) leaves little doubt how such a bad law so poorly crafted could obtain the approval of those lawmakers who could barely read it… Because it was in their best interest not to read it… Only to click their heels and offer a snappy salute of “Sieg Heil, mein Führer!” Posted by: Lucky7Star Posted on: 01/12/06
