The Right DMCA Move -- EFF and 2600 Drop Suit

The DMCA is an overwrought, overly burdensome, ill-conceived piece of protectionist legislation -- one that suffers the fundamental flaw of attempting to regulate specific technologies rather than behaviors. But this is the right move. 2600's reputation and public persona would have doomed the case.

Mainstream America and organizations need to vote with their pocketbooks, and need to inform their legislators that the Internet is not about business opportunities for Hollywood. 2600 and EFF have fired the first shots, but they can't win the war. It's time for the rest of us to step up.
