Call me paranoid if you will, but I am still sure that there is a hidden agenda behind this bill. Corporate business likes to have complete control of it's markets these days. THEY want to control what YOU buy - not like the old days where THEY responded to YOUR demand. Fashions are created and then killed off to be replaced by another. This is nowhere more apparent than in in the Entertainment Industry. Amateur and semi-pro music is an area that they cannot control and so they would like to see it hamstrung. Why don't you need a PEL for big screen TV, video juke boxes etc ? If they can get a rid of oposition they hope to fill all the vacuum by their own products.
