Rather this is what should be happening.  Principals set forth their arguments, congress steps in and sets the rules which then the courts interpret and settle.<p>Government and manufacturer and service provider along with the constituency coming to a decision on what should and should not be allowable.<p>As I understand it, the gov, is setting up a commission to investigate this question, as it should [1].<p>As for mr Cook, I agree, what he speculates to should not happen, and as far as I know is not happening.  He&#x27;s essentially setting up a strawperson argument when he states: &quot;If a court can ask us to write this software, think about what else they could ask us to write.
