You are seeing the pointles futility of our political system at its finest. Because the White House said - "We'll veto CISPA in any form" the House is now attempting to call their bluff. It would be funny watching morons calling each other names, but sadly this could then become law (if the house manages to get enough to overcome a veto). In the end, we get what we deserve - we elect morons thinking that somehow the cluebird will magically land on their shoulder and whisper the answers... what ends up happening is the moron is elected the cluebird shits on them in disgust, and the moron then does what ever their corporate paymasters tell them to do...
I believe if George Orwell and Franz Kalfka got together and tried to write out their worst nightmares... even they would blush when taking in how thoroughly corrupt and utterly disconnected and useless our system has become.
All software, at its most basic function within the CPU, is just adding numbers, shifting the result to memory, and then adding the next set of numbers. So why would we allow someone to patent adding numbers?

They get a slap on the wrist and a stern talking to...
When the kids of ordinary plebes get accused of infringement...
They are "dirty, freeloading pirate theiving bastards" who deserve *criminal* prosecution, incarceration and execution for destroying the industrial might of America...
I wish that I could say this was sarcasm, but the truth of the matter is the hypocrisy of the "content" industry knows no bounds.
