[Techtalk] New bill

[WolfRyder]

In conjunction with the below site, here's the word, right from the horse's 
mouth

http://thomas.loc.gov/

from there, copy/paste in  S.2048 where it asked for the bill number and 
it'll take you right to the text of the bill.

I'm particularly angry about sections 4, 5 & 6...note the fine for being 
caught altering a device you bought a paid for...
