"WASHINGTON--Enthusiasts of free software disrupted a Commerce Department meeting Wednesday, insisting on their right to debate the entertainment industry over anti-copying technologies. "

Wow, awesome. First, protestors managed to make their voices heard in the Commerce Department. Thats great. Furthermore, Valenti actually gave them the floor. Now as much as I disagree with Valenti, I have to give him credit for that. That was a very serious break from Congressional protocol and it was an honorable thing to do.
