The nightmarish SOPA hearings
FTA: "If I had a dime for every time someone in the hearing used the phrase “I’m not a nerd” or “I’m no tech expert, but they tell me . . .,” I’d have a large number of dimes and still feel intensely worried about the future of the uncensored Internet."
Sad but true: "It’s been a truism for some time that you can tell innovation in an industry has ceased when the industry starts to develop a robust lobbying and litigating presence instead."
I've been saying something similar for a helluva long time now: "There ought to be a law, I think, that in order to regulate something you have to have some understanding of it."
