Big Business seems to be hitting more and more snags recently in its
Manifest Destiny takeover of the web:

Just love all the plots and subplots. Is online privacy a joke? Do
corporations really  think they can take over the web and bully anyone
who gets in their way? Are corporate lawyers drooling over poorly
written and badly conceived legislation? Is internet law the next hot
specialty among recent law grads? Is there a huge backlash brewing in
the geek community?

(just love rhetorical questions)
