Ultimately the rules and answers should belong to the users of the net not 
the lawyers and business interests.

While it is useful and entertaining to read people like Michael Geist or L

Internet and its uses, it is really us the users who need to decide these 
things.

it is great that you wrote him a letter. I wish I wrote to him more too.
