But it is a huge step forward for what we at Fafblog like to call the "rights of the unconceived," which is just a few short steps from what we are really lookin forward to which is the rights of the inanimate.

Slashdot has a story about various big copyright-holder groups contacting their members, urging them to write to Congress to get the DMCRA locked up in committee. The DMCRA is a bill introduced by Rick Boucher to take the modest steps of requiring the labelling of CDs, DVDs and other products with DRM in them, and to allow Americans to circumvent DRM when for a lawful purpose (i.e., watching foreign DVDs on a domestic DVD player). The FUD from rightsholder groups needs countering, as Slashdot points out, and you can help by writing to Congress in support of the bill. EFF's Action Center has a one-click letter you can send to your Congresscritter asking for her/his support on the bill. X-NAS-Bayes: #0: 2.17997E-120; #1: 1 X-NAS-Classification: 0 X-NAS-MessageID: 547 X-NAS-Validation: {E681C936-E9F0-4DDC-9901-74301AF33E67} I am writing today to ask you to co-sponsor Rep. Boucher & Doolittle's Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act (DMCRA, H.R. 107). I believe that our copyright law has become unbalanced and fails to address the interests of the public. The DMCRA would protect consumers from buying "copy protected" audio compact discs that may not work in personal computers, cars, and other consumer devices. It would also codify a citizen's right to make fair uses of copyrighted material. I think that this is an absolutely fundamental step towards redressing the imbalances that have plagued copyright law in recent years. I hope you will co-sponsor the DMCRA and show your support for the public's rights in digital media. Thank you for your time. Link 2.  Horror story submission cliches.

I've lost track of the number of people who've sent us links to news stories about Michael Moore "admitting" that his campaign to tell people about Disney's last-minute refusal to carry his new anti-Bush movie, Farenheit 911, is a "publicity stunt." Moore convincingly rebuts this on his site X-NAS-Bayes: #0: 1.78042E-096; #1: 1 X-NAS-Classification: 0 X-NAS-MessageID: 546 X-NAS-Validation: {E681C936-E9F0-4DDC-9901-74301AF33E67} "Michael Moore has known for a year that we will not distribute this movie, so this is not news." Yes, that is what I thought, too, except Disney kept sending us all that money to make the movie. Miramax said there was no problem. I got the idea that everything was fine. "It is not in the best interests of our company to distribute a partisan political film that may offend some of our customers." Hmmm. Disney doesn't distribute work that has partisan politics? Disney distributes and syndicates the Sean Hannity radio show every day? I get to listen to Rush Limbaugh every day on Disney-owned WABC. I also seem to remember that Disney distributed a very partisan political movie during a Congressional election year, 1998—a film called The Big One… by, um… ME! Link 2.  Game Boy GPS.
