And if I had to sum up (::wince::), what I'd say is: I'm afraid that Hilary Rosen and her buds, who pioneered the RIAA's entire strategy to criminalize Fair Use, are helping the big media companies like CBS to apply that strategy to media fans by (a) setting us up for individual prosecution, for whenever they feel like coming after us and (b) building corporate-controlled fan sites so that they can eventually both legislate and prosecute the fan-controlled sites as illegal. (Henry Jenkins's article explains this better.)
