Could be the start....or maybe Europe will do a better job than the USA in protecting the hobbyist.  It's not likely when politicians and money are involved, but you can hope....

This Poop offends me!
Can't we then make it illegal to block hobbyists if it's offensive!?

Damn it. Well let's see what comes out of this. I'm just afraid that, as Khorsis said, nobody gives a damn about hobbyists when there is a rich corporation + politics involved.
I live in Finland at the moment, so if there is anything happening, it will probably start here. Gotta keep an eye on the news. Too bad I don't understand Finnish tho Big Grin
