On the Extant Literature Concerning the Digital Millenium Copyright Act

Observations regarding 99% of All Anti - DMCA Essays I Ever Read (which means 98% of all DMCA Essays I Ever Read)

DMCA = Bad.

Free Speech / Creativity / Originality / Subversion = Doomed.

People who support DMCA = generally bad, some confused. Mostly Republicans.

Corporations who pushed DMCA through = greedy bastards.

Clinton = good president who screwed up on IP issues.

Jack Valenti = Devil Incarnate.


Observations regarding The Other 2%:

DMCA = good because people will steal everything that isn’t nailed down.

Culture as We Know It = Doomed

People/Corporations Who Pushed DMCA Through: forward-thinking. Mostly Republicans.

Jack Valenti = Visionary Godhead.


Questions:
Dear people who write about the DMCA: Is there anything new to say? I can’t do any better either. Somebody talk about the boat hull provision already.
