Chilean anti-piracy law drafted on pirated software
,----[ Quote ]
| Chilean lawyer Guillermo Frêne is having a bit of a bad
| hair day after it was revealed that draft legislation aimed
| at cutting the internet connections of illegal downloading
| ne'er-do-wells was presented in .doc format written on
| pirated software.
|
| The full outrage was exposed here, which shows that the
| firm of attorneys responsible for the document goes by the
| rather unusual name of "The houze"...

| wouldn't be so awful to all if that agreement
| wasn't aprooved yet (Spanish follows).
