Hello All,

Sorry if this is a repost.

I was surfing online and found this article:  Unintended Consequences:
Seven Years under the DMCA
(http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/unintended_consequences.php).  I didn't read
the whole thing, but from what I did read, it clearly shows how the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) clearly did a whole lot
more than help the music and movie industry stop people from copying music
and movies.  The DMCA clearly posses a real threat to our freedom of
speech and clearly hinders traditional healthy capitalistic competition.

Please take a quick glance at this article.  If you were not already aware
of this issue, I think you'll be surprised how evil this good intended law
is.

Later,
