Amazing that he excuses it because no one was arrested for removing it. Of course, he wants us to totally ignore the fact that someone put software on people's computers that makes them lawbreakers when they try to remove it. Arrests or not, that's inexcusable, but here he is defending it with limp-wristed excuses like "Well, it let you make a few copies", etc.
Not only that, for a guy who constantly rails against others for supposedly supporting the UN, he doesn't seem to mind so much that the DMCA is basically crafted by the UN itself. Truth is, he's a tool, and everyone here knows it.
And this new law will replace it. Did the U/N work on this new law? Or are they too busy pushing open source now with their new agency dedicated to that? Richard Stallman is who's on the latest U.N. speaker lists, not Jack Valenti who someone else brought up.
