A strange day to be a fair-use advocate on the Internet. On the one hand, Internet laws like the International Treaty on Cybercrime seem so ill-considered that it makes you want to take away all technology-related lawmaking privileges enjoyed by governments. On the other hand, we all hate spam and love it when spammers go to jail. On the other other hand, the current anti-spam bill looks like a total debacle.
