I have good news to report. I had an interesting day today. I met with 
Nancy Pelosi today and talked about SOPA. She indicated that she was no 
fan of SOPA and thought it probably wouldn't pass. She did say however 
the IP is a real problem and that something needed to be done.

I told her the I can come up with an alternative and I told her that if 
she opposes SOPA that I would write a technical spec for something that 
actually would work and not break the Internet. She was VERY interested 
and she made sure that her assistant exchanged cards with me.

I actually have an idea. I've been working on this for years and I will 
write it up but not right away. But I want to put the challenge out 
there. What can we come up with that is better than SOPA and doesn't 
involve compromising our civil liberties values?

Just wondering if some one of you will come up with the same idea I'm 
thinking of. And - I do think that we should put something reasonable on 
the table. And I think that the problem can be solved and we can solve 
it - before they solve it for us.

Ideas?
