Other Crap

New state laws in Michigan and Utah make everything illegal.

• Well, now that I think about it, just about everything done in Detroit is illegal.
• "These laws regulate much more than just adult entertainment content. They actually make it a crime for our newsletter to link to any site containing ads for alcohol, tobacco, credit-card and financial accounts, mortgages, car rentals, gambling, and the myriad other things that minors aren't supposed to have."
• You know the saddest thing about these laws? I'll give you five-to-one odds that the people who are in charge of enforcing them think that the virus-laden mail they get from something.com actually comes from something.com!! They will tie up thousand of hours of law enforcement time only to find that the mail was sent from some island in the South Pacific and shunted through some anonymous remailer in Finland, and that something.com was just a dummy address plucked off by e-mail harvesting software.
