The courts. There is no possible way that this bill (as I
read it) could, in any way, be conceived as even remotely 
constitutional.  This is pure vigilante: the entertainment
thugs aren't the police and don't have the rights or authority
to do anything other than report abuses to the *proper* authorities.

Peace,
