Unfortunately, courts do not decide on the intent of legislation. Courts decide on the language of the legislation and the facts of the case. The fact that this legislation has such broad language is something to be feared, regardless of its intent. Perhaps an analogy is in order. The intent of intellectual property legislation (specifically, patent law) was to promote innovation. However, the outcome of the legislation has been almost exactly the opposite when such legislation has been applied to computer and information technologies. How can you say that the same thing will not happen with this legislation? As the aphorism goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
