"Open Office." these are the people making decisions about internet use and accessibility.

Every time one of these ill-informed shills for the media conglomerates votes in another uninformed law, we just come back with ten new ways to circumvent that law. In this cat and mouse game we're a billion and more mice to their handful of cats. They can't win, no matter what they do.
