This as absolute madness.  While I don't earn my living specifically by

submitting an annual fee to some draconian organisation makes me sick.  This
must not happen.

"It looks like the Microsoft front organizations are pushing licensing for
software writers. Of course, the usual suspects, the BSA and ITAA are
involved
in writing the laws."
