I believe it is much worse than that. The DMCA was written by the RIAA's lawyers and presented as a package for the Congress to approve. The RIAA directly, and the labels indirectly, gave a lot of money to the congressional fund raising efforts. I believe that 90% of the "representatives" who voted for the law never read any of it. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
