] Last week a joint study committee of the Tennessee
] legislature held a formal hearing and formally asked for
] alternatives to the MPAA's legislation which prompted
] CERC and CEA to take the wraps off an alternative model
] bill.

Actual testimony is provided at this link. Is this the same hearing Flynn was telling us about?

I like this alternative proposal because:

1. Its simple.
2. It focuses on actual theft of communications services that the service provider charges money for instead of more vague ideas about the letter of service contracts.
3. It eliminates all of the free speech concerns. You can talk all you want. You simply cannot sell devices.
4. Its probably redundant, but in that sense it makes a point.

Some comments:
I would add the word "knowingly" to the assistance paragraph (A2)
I think the "staple of commerce" standard should be defined.
