DMCA hated from macintouch.com

EFF Pioneer Award winner Seth Finkelstein writes about How to Win DCMA
Exceptions and Influence Policy:

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is extensively known now,
being
perhaps the most hated Internet law since the Communications Decency
Act
censorship legislation. The DMCA's chilling effects have been widely
publicized, and seem only to increase. One of the few parts of the
DMCA
which even attempts to moderate its far-reaching restrictions, is a
provision which directs the Copyright Office of the Library of
Congress to
make an inquiry regarding adverse effects of one of the DMCA's
prohibition
on circumvention. If adverse effects are established, this office then
has
the power to "exempt certain classes of works from the prohibition
against
circumvention of technological measures that control access to
copyrighted
works."
