Gaze with me into the past, to a time nearly 10 years ago...

October 12, 1998
Rep. David Dreier (R-CA), urging passage of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act: "Clearly, as we look at the problems that we face as a
Nation, and as we move rapidly towards this global economy, it is
difficult to imagine an issue that is much more important than theft of
intellectual property."

Can you imagine any more important issues?
