Industry committee  Well, in that case, you give the consent. I mean, look at Adobe PDF. We all use it. That's how you read half your stuff. Adobe sends you a new version every six months or so.

Industry committee  “Discussion” is a big word. I told them, “Look, you need this and we need this”, because there had to be a requirement in the act to instantly work with the FTC.

Industry committee  That's one. The other one is my experience with the U.S. enforcement agencies.
