I appreciate the chairman of the full committee and his perspective on this. Nobody likes the pirating or the abuse, so to speak, of the system, but to disallow it altogether is not the answer. To me, this is Congress, and if this is such an egregious problem, then we can handle the software issue directly without destroying an industry that is obviously good for the buyer and the seller. Quite honestly, I don't know how many of us who have bought and sold a car and transferred the license number said: ``Oh, my goodness, if I don't have the same license number, well, I can't sell the car.'' I am not really worried about the license number. I just need to be able to drive the car. If it is such a problem, why don't we address that portion of the problem and not cut everybody out of the deal? Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
