Let's all take a deep breath here. If the Grassley bill becomes
law, this sort of talk may have merit. At this stage, it's too
strong. So far the only declaration made is by one or more
Senators, not "the government".

Sadly, the American Bar Association project that is writing model
legislation for this has been delayed. A public discussion
draft, which should really move the ball forward, is not going
to happen until after our next meeting in August. Expect
something published on the web in mid-September. Model
legislation is needed to sort out liability issues, for example,
without which large companies are afraid to enter the business.
