Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming here.
I'm not a lawyer, but I understand that English common law all revolved around property rights. Are we in a new era? Should we be making laws that say thou shalt not, and if you do, bingo? Are we just dancing around this thing?
We know, for instance, it's against the law to be a peeping Tom, but if you change in front of the window and you draw a crowd, it's going to be a little.... So many of these things are... I want to go a little further. If I'm a small business, you scare the daylights out of us with all these laws, because really there's no malice there. I mean, a small business might want to have a customer list and maybe wants to make sure that this guy isn't stealing roses when he isn't paying for them. We're getting into areas where there seems to be a contradiction. On the one hand there are some things you're talking about, and we think, wow, we have to do something about this, but on the other hand, as Mr. Tilson said, if you're surfing the Internet and you're doing all the...like that peeping Tom, you're standing in front of an open window.
To get back to my first question, are we at a threshold where we have to develop a whole new set of laws?
