If skipping commercials is outlawed then only outlaws will skip commercials?
Yeah, I agree this is stupid and, for all intents and purposes, uninforceable. What are the police going to do, come into your house and make sure that you're watching the previews? Not gonna happen. The best they can do is force the previews to play, but you can always mute the TV until the previews are done or go fix a sandwhich or go to the bathroom. Besides, I doubt the bill will get passed because of how incredibly dumb it is.
