I don’t like piracy, but this legislation is taking a sledgehammer to the problem when a scalpel is needed.

Hostages to fortune

Random quote of the day:
Â
“He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means have married and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason that those that have children should have greatest care of future times; unto which they know they must transmit their dearest pledges.”
—Sir Francis Bacon, “Of Marriage and Single Life,†Essays, Civil and Moral, Ch. VIII
