I don't advocate piracy myself (I work for a developer and THAT pays my bills every two weeks). However, libraries are caught in the middle of this debate right now. If the bill passes, a good many libraries are going to have one humongeous problem on their hand! (Since I'm a full-fledged MLS holder, I don't want to see this happen either, ESPECIALLY when it comes down to intellectual freedom issues, a can of worms that I as an overworked technician/librarian don't want to get into at this time.)
