I think I've mentioned before that Kerry's website sort of flirted with the copyright maximalists. Well, turns out he supported the Fritz Chip. He also seems to like Key Escrow. Now I do think tech issues are a side item in this election. I'm not voting on them. Nor do I think Bush's stances are any better. But if Kerry wins, don't expect any changes in this regard.

[ I definitely think that while removing Bush serves the greater good, we're still gonna have to keep a close eye on what kerry is up to, and be willing to address concerns with our reps on lots of things. I guess i'm sort of in baby-steps mode... one hurdle at a time, but it probably makes sense to start keeping a list of potential concerns with a K/E administration. -k]
