That said, I don't believe that this legislation was meant to pass in it's current form. It was meant to get us worked up so they can come back with a compromise that will look good by comparison but if initially proposed would be called draconian.
One cost that these authors do have to worry about (at least if they are in the USA) is the ISBN's. Officially every format of a book is supposed to have a different ISBN. That means if an author releases both a PDF and EPub version of the book they are supposed to put different ISBN's on them.
Realistically most of these authors don't bother to purchase the ISBNs however
Hi, nice to meet you, I work in IT, use Vista daily and HATE it. why should I need 2 GB of ram just for the OS?!? Why for some major "features" of the OS do I need a 3d Graphics card? I use Linux and XP on far lesser machines (p3's compared to a quad core, 2gb ram vista machine) and move around much faster.
Admittedly it does better after SP1, but still needs a ton of work

Why not just
setup a small picture of an empty room just in front of the camera? or point the unit at a wall
This isn't a victory, more like extra innings.
