I understand what you are saying, but you are talking about combining technology we currently have. What I was getting at was that at some point, new technology will be developed that will cure the current ills in the system.
I've been saying this for a while that I consider this to be a somewhat good thing. There are many things that we do on the internet that are just plain unsecure (email, http browsing, bit torrent) and I see this as a good thing as it will push us to create more secure protocols and procedures.
It is really unfortunate that this has to be the impetus for introducing more secure measures, but these tribulations will lead to a stronger internet.
"If people see this and respond, well no one is really going to get those types of penalties" then they obviously haven't read stories about Aaron Swartz vs the ax that Carmen Ortiz was grinding to a nub.
Seriously, this is just another selectively enforced law to get at whomever the government wants to get at.
So you would put the pieces (modules, databases tools, etc) into open source repositories. You wouldn't email the whole system to the Republicans. The republicans would still have to figure out how to organize it, build a useful website, fit all the pieces together, manage the whole project, and on and on.
If someone sent me the source code for Android, it isn't like I can just copy it over to my phone and BAM! I've got an awesome phone. There are about a million moving parts that need to be fix and massaged.
Will anyone think of all the victims? And by victims, I mean consenting adults exchanging money for services.
I do understand that some of it is forced and/or underage type stuff, but seriously, I'm not sure why we are worried about adults and what they do in private.
What do we have to do to get the Congressional Research Service to produce a similar report to this?
Also, I think the internet is going to have an extremely large impact of the 2023 copyright fight. I have a feeling Disney is going to end up with quite the black eye and a number of congresspersons will be jobless.
Do you want to make lots of money or do you want to get your message out to as many people as possible? Based on the complaint, it looks like money is the driver here. Shocking, I'm sure.

On a tangent, what do guards have in prison? I guess maybe nightsticks or tazers or pepper spray or something?

Better get these kids used to it so they don't complain when we throw their asses in jail after they (probably don't) graduate.
Great path we've headed down here, America.
