(what an nice url...)

Normally, this would be funny, but since it's coming from Michael Eisner, 
it is literally dangerous (and evil).

While he doesn't mention Open Source specifically, many have connected the 
dots between the CBDTPA (formally the SSSCA) and the DMCA which does have 
to potential to outlaw Linux in particular.

How long before we need to encrypt this list?
