- here we have another basic problem with registration: there is nothing
- wrong with the products themselves, just the abuses. regulating products
- is easier, but it doesn't solve any problems. regulating use solves
- problems, but it's very difficult to enforce. the costs of either
- method greatly outweigh the benefits. of the two, the former has the most
- potential for violating personal privacy.
