Instead, the process was opened up to the public, with ordinary citizens allowed to contribute via a government blog. Advocates of free software mixed it up with law enforcers and lobbyists from the likes of Google and Yahoo, in a pioneering example of “wiki-democracy.”
有趣的是，该法案不是由常规法律起草官僚起草的。整个过程完全向公众开放，普通公民可以通过一个政府博客贡献自己的力量。自由软件支持者将它与执法者和；来自谷歌和雅虎等的游说者联合起来，树立了一个“维基民主”（wiki-democracy）的榜样。
