Re: [ga] On Its Way: One of the Biggest Changes to the Internet

[jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Andy and all,

  After talking to several of our Chinese and Japanese
customers as well as members, it seems that the IP lobby
in their countrys as well as in the US are mostly responsibility
for this sort of poor rule/policy decision, ergo likely why
it doesn't make sense.

  Hence, if correct, I predict multiple law suits will
ensue in 6 to 10 months centered around this sort of bad
policy/rule making favoring larger international IP interests
and detramenting small business, and in doing so unduly
restricting business growth and economic opportunities
for respective countries internally.

  Bad policy/rule making nearly always leads to bad results
yet again here.
