Slashdot, of course, links to them. So now, I link to slashdot. http://slashdot.org/articles/02/10/07/1331217.shtml?tid=123 I find this all incredibly funny really. Congress _and_ the courts relaly do need to be considering how laws such as the DMCA are applied. For the most part, these rules are coming down to whose friend you happen to be, how nefarious the defendant party is, and how asleep the judge is behind the case (asleep/self-interested/bought). Its giving me a real cynical view on being a lawyer, thats for sure. -- Best regards, bitbitch mailto:bitbitch@magnesium.net
