I agree; the "well, it's almost like that already, so what's a little more law" argument is unconvincing to my ears.

  True. But he's still right about the "don't panic" part. Until this actually shakes out into the real world, we don't know how much of an issue it will be. If it's one of those things that no one bothers to enforce, then who cares? If they do try to enforce it, then there will be class action suits and it will eventually go away. In short, I don't think we can prevent it, but I do think we can get rid of it if need be.

    You're not considering the worst-case scenario: "they" don't enforce it for a while, just so the public outcry wears out, then "they" start to threaten some ISPs...

      At which point the lawsuits and such start up. I don't see the problem--the delay before enforcement is irrelevant, it's only the question of enforcement that matters.
