Re: bah humbug You shouldn't have laws that you aren't going to enforce. I admit that I would have been pretty unhappy to learn that more money was being spent "Looking for Bobby Fisher" than was spent searching for Bin Laden, but it sounds like they caught him without trying too hard, so why shouldn't they try him. He broke the law. If we aren't going to punish people who make money in sanctioned countries when we catch them, then we just shouldn't sanction countries. If we aren't going to enforce IP laws, then we just shouldn't have them. As long as they're there, we should enforce them. |

well, the upside of it is that the law will then come under the review of the Judicial branch (eventually), as SOMEONE somewhere here will try to use the lawto his/her own ends. It's just like so many old "Blue Laws" and such that are still on the books in the NorthEast. There's laws that haven't seen the light of day in a century, but someone always brings it out and tries someone under it and usually the law is gotten rid of after much fighting.
