The Titanic was getting along just fine until it hit that iceberg too. Not that I'm necessarily in favor or opposed to the FPCA, and I've in fact complained here about the barriers to contributing in the past, but this sort of shallow, uncritical "everyone else is getting along just fine" argument really has no place in a discussion of legal burdens. There must be more nuanced, difficult discussion of the risks and costs involved.
