What the Hell is America Doing to Itself?

This is the latest of the Uber Intellectual Property Acts to be proposed to the US legislative process.  Surely this cannot be serious?  It makes just about anything to do with free passage of information a potentially criminal act?

I have seen little commentary on this one, and that surprises me.  Is it a bust?  Seems not from the fact that some of it at least has already gone through the first stages. 

I have already heard that some organisations are migrating to avoid other legislation like Sarbanes Oxley.  Interesting how American thought about freedom of action has been revised lately.
