Jim http://www.pcmag.com/article/0,2997,s=1500&a=27151,00.asp May 20, 2002 The DMCA: It's Now Comedic By John C. Dvorak PC Magazine Reader and PR man Alan Wallace turned me on to an interesting Web site dedicated to following politics and technology—Declan McCullagh's Politech (www.politechbot.com). On the site, there is a search engine you can use to look up news on specific issues. This usually reveals numerous items not covered by the mainstream media. So type in DMCA and you'll get en eyeful. What got my attention was an article entitled "DMCA hoedown! Copyright fans party on Capitol Hill on Thursday." [...] McCullagh evidently got into this event and took some pictures, which are posted on his site. The event looks to have been the typical dreadful gathering of stuffed shirts. The problem is, these are dangerous stuffed shirts that seem to have things their way all the time. Check it out, and bookmark the McCullagh site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
