Maybe so, but my point is, why would mIRC have to worry about a law that doesn't even exist? And he didn't say "proposed laws" he said a law that has "taken place" which makes it sound like he is referring to a law that is already passed, not one that is being proposed, and in any case, all of the proposed laws will never get passed anyway. The Berman bill for example has been in committee for over a year and based on the correspondance I've had with several different senators, it's expected to remain there until it dies.
