Do you think if we got louder about this, the DOJ would come after us faster, or would they be afraid to draw attention to a flawed and unconstitutional policy of coercion?
This is actually starting to shape up as a case for the ACLU.
I do think that if affiliates on the web would get loud and complain they would try to shut us up.
We need to support lobbying efforts as best we can, and the only avenue we have to do so at this time is to support profreedom.
What we are seeing right now is actually a lashing out – a reaction to recent developments that are actually in our favor.
The decision of the world court is very important indeed – while we have not had to obey them yet, we have insisted others do so in the past. It would be bad to ignore such a ruling.
Because of that and also complaints from our closest ally, Britain, more politicians have opened conversation about regulation with their British counter parts. There is more and more talk about regulation on the hill.
The law is very unlikely to pass this year. So the DOJ has taken matters in it’s own hands – and will do so until regulation occurs.
This is more the attack of a cornered cat than anything else.
What we and everyone need to support vocally is regulation. That is the savior for us. And I do think it will happen – but I also think things may get worse before they get better.
This will be a very interesting year.
