Ah, now i remember that. Dodd's performance in that whole thing just showed the depths of how woefully inept and out-of-touch the big media execs are

Well / Politicians.

I think the biggest weakness of politicians is that being so old, they don't really understand new technology that well, and therefore often end up well... making horrible laws based on new technology.

Same with judges.  I still think the best example there is the court order demanding that Geohot "Retrieve all emails with Sony's propitary code."

Someone had to explain to the court that you can't just unsend email like that.

I was thinking more in terms of the PR war that the debate over the bill was. On  the one hand you had some of the most beloved companies of the internet and countless eloquent grassroots movements, and then on the other side you had... Chris Dodd fumbling around. Even if big media had been in the right on that, that performance was just sad compared to what the other side was pulling.
