What it all boils down to is the wild wild internet west is now going away. It happened to audio text -- and companies survived -- it happened to telemarketing -- and companies survived, now it's the net's turn to go under the gun.

Alot of this stuff is being put in place because of the Patriot Act, and I'm sure there will be more. Of course we could be in the same shoes as gambling online --
