dmca needs to die. the only reason we tolerate copyright laws the way they are is that minor violations are not enforced, just like speed limits. i don't think society is for the law the way it is.

You won't see anyone coming in here complaining about the ACLU on this one. This will be a very hard fight for the ACLU as the people backing the DMCA have a hell of a lot more resources.

You're right, they will be eating their foot in shame over all the posts they make decrying them as a worthless organization that only defends pedophiles. :disgust:

In any case, I certainly hope they prevail in this case. Indeed they will have a long road ahead of them, and I hope the case they chose is the right one to fight this battle with.

The ACLU although may not have the $$$ that some of the thinktanks have, they do have almost an unlimited intellectual resources. Lawyers who work for the ACLU are very dedicated lawyers.
