Heck, perhaps we'd have the same consideration as the politically protected "official media".

Well thats where we are heading. If several of us band together to buy bandwidth and create blogs skewering our political opponents within 60 days of an election, are we subject ot Devils Island? Of course we are because 5 morons have just said so. The costs alone of the litigation forthcoming will demand an increase in taxes.

Since I brought the subject up:
Look, this does not apply to FR. Period.

We are a website not a cable or satellite medium.

Considering the future effect of this law's definitions and more importantly it's whole philosophy on an internet that became a general mass media might be a useful way to critique the law.
But maybe not, it's certainly seems too early to do so here without causing undue anxiety.
