<H1>Laws and Law Discussion</H1>
<P>
From the first time a rumor went by that the FCC was going to institute a
"modem tax" (this one shows up about every two years without fault), BBS
users took an interest in the funny little laws that govern the country and
how the jackasses in the funny white building were going to mess up the
fun. To this end, transcripts and discussions about laws have been around
for a long time. 
<P>
Because of the somewhat odd subject matter of some of the files, some of
the files you would expect to be located in this section are also located
in the <A HREF="/politics">politics</A> section. Some of these files would
probably be better put in the Politics section as well. 
<P>
Oh, and this would normally go without saying, but it's probably not a good
idea to depend on these files for actual, your-property-and-well-being
law advice. Sometimes the law has radically changed since the file was
written, or the file falls under that special "The US never submitted a
full approval to all 50 states so actually you can punch a cop" type of
conspiratorial section. See also <A HREF="/conspiracy">conspiracy</A>.
