Girding Against the Copyright Mob (Wired)
Wired News reports
from a recent conference to discuss technology laws like DMCA.
"When DigitalConsumer.org advocates say the personal computer
revolution wouldn't have happened under today's copyright laws, it's easy
to write their comments off as a paranoid. But it might not be far from
the mark. From the labs at MIT in the late '50s to the free software and
open-source programmers in the '90s, hacking has historically relied on
an open and available flow of information. The Digital Millennium
Copyright Act has curtailed that flow of information."
