Saw this on  Slashdot:

Microsoft Palladium -- Where the hell do you think you're going today?

I thought it was hilarious.... and given the depth of stupidity that US 
senators and congressppl seem to be able to stoop to, I'd see this as coming 
close to what they have plans for.

If you're in doubt, take a look at the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright 
Act). This doesn't stop piracy, it just outlaws personal 'fair use'.
