It seems overly broad to make it illegal to link to illegal software, doesn't it? I know that the Republican congress' latest kick is all about limited individual freedoms, but shouldn't they focus on the illegal software instead of the benevolent search engine?

What's next, a clause in the DMCA that makes it illegal to talk about Kazaa Lite, or mention it in a public place?
