This discussion started out "for those of you following the debate
about knitters working at home."

I'm sorry, but some of us are unaware of this debate and would like
to know more.  Can someone please summarize what has happened to
these unfortunate people trying to make a few bucks?  What law has
been passed?  Why was it passed?  What court case occurred?  How
does the law stand up against the constitution?  What is the scope
of the law (e.g. USA, Mass, some city?)
