The DMCA is one of the biggest reasons to dislike America. American politics, that is. Thanks to you, laws of this sort is being implemented all over the world, and it's become a sick sort-of standard for international organs.

Make me president of the United States, give me congress and senate majority, and I'll trash that pos law. Instantly. And outlaw all types of DRM used to restrain the use of legally purchased materials on any platform.

Make it an ammendment to the constitution, then I'll leave.

When did politicians lose common sense? Is it because of lobbyists and Big business that give them large sums of money for elections then expect payback?

Europe's favorite US President, Bill Clinton, signed the DMCA. Thank him first.
