While I agree that it's exceedingly unlikely that they'd actually solve the
problem, I've yet to see a politician who won't try to do *something*, even
if it would be ineffectual or counterproductive. A "Protection of E-Commerce"
bill is entirely too plausible - just imagine how many politicians would love
to run "I saved the Internet" ads during their next campaign.
