With this Congress, and this President, zero legislation passing is a GOOD thing.

But in some ways I'd actually like to see them debating this in Congress for hours and hours and hours. At least then, they can waste time doing something useless rather than making the world a worse place for those of us outside the continental US (although I live on a major outlying US island - the UK).
Jon.

Zero legislation passing with that President and Congress would have been a good thing then too. Had they done nothing, things that should have expired into public domain that should have and it would be legal to have a Linux distribution with DVD playback in the USA.
Here's the vote for the DMCA in 1998:
Notice the political split by party... ...there isn't one.
People with party affiliations need to bark back at their own parties about these issues rather than point fingers to the other side. It's a two party problem, and it's way more constructive to fix the problem on the inside than to yell from across the street.
