“Five years after it was enacted, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is living up to critics’ worst fears. The antipiracy law has become a broad legal cudgel that’s wielded against legitimate reapplications of intellectual property, from mix CDs to off-brand toner cartridges.

Good fix for a bad law – but why not just blow up the DMCA instead?”
