From the increasingly stupid Orlowski in the Reg, who's now evidently dealing with the reality of being completely, irredeemably wrong before the Act was passed by going into a denial phase.
From the article: "In an analysis on DIU, Brian Hurley writes:-
"'This bill mentions negotiations that are to take place by December 15. Who are the webcasters negotiating? Do they represent all classes of webcasters? How will they be chosen? There is no mention of this by the RIAA, Sound Exchange, or Senator Helms' office.'"
Well, I dunno Andrew - perhaps finding out the answer would be YOUR JOB? Still, if Drew was paying me even if I couldn't be fucked to make a phone call or two to find out (this really is Journalism 101 stuff), maybe I'd just churn out some lazy crap and bank the cheque.
Actually, no I wouldn't...
