I agree. I think we can do a win/win solution rather than
compromise. Let's come up with something.<br>

I'm all in. My livelihood and career depend on the commercial
exchange of intellectual property, but the entire Internet
community, our privacy, and civil liberties should not have to
suffer in order to protect some copyright owners from having their
content usurped by online consumers/distributors. <br>

I have good news to report. I had an interesting day today. I
met with Nancy Pelosi today and talked about SOPA. She
indicated that she was no fan of SOPA and thought it probably
wouldn't pass. She did say however the IP is a real problem
and that something needed to be done.<br>
<br>
I told her the I can come up with an alternative and I told
her that if she opposes SOPA that I would write a technical
spec for something that actually would work and not break the
Internet. She was VERY interested and she made sure that her
assistant exchanged cards with me.<br>
<br>
I actually have an idea. I've been working on this for years
and I will write it up but not right away. But I want to put
the challenge out there. What can we come up with that is
better than SOPA and doesn't involve compromising our civil
liberties values?<br>
<br>
Just wondering if some one of you will come up with the same
idea I'm thinking of. And - I do think that we should put
something reasonable on the table. And I think that the
problem can be solved and we can solve it - before they solve
it for us.<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>
