| Re: FIRST POST What we NEED is a change in the idiotic law that was bought and paid for by the **AA groups - the DMCA itself. It needs to be repealed or rewritten to reflect the reality of this universe, not some dreamworld in a Galaxy Far, Far Away (can I get sued for quoting that?).
Even reputable organizations are beginning to speak out against the DMCA: Death by DMCAA, published by the IEEE for one. Write your congressman, senator, governor, fifth grade English teacher and anyone else you can think of pointing out how this incredibly stupid law is:
#1 - keeping great technology from being developed
#2 - causing great technology to have to be recalled from the shelves
#3 - simply making the MPAA/RIAA richer in giving them a tool with which to threaten people with and make them settle up out of court because they can't afford to hire legal defense (legalized extortion as I see it).
#4 - making it a real headache to share your copyrighted materials online
OK, skip #4 - but beat them over the head with #s 1, 3 and 3.
