Free Culture people: DMCA

For those of you still tinkering around with Free Culture, consider the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998 as a major piece of legislation.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has an archive on it, and a file on Five Years of Unintended Consequences

this is merely a resource, not a command that you look at this. In speaking with some who are thinking about this paper, there was frustration that there might not be a great way to use the MPEK, directly. I suggest thinking about some of the legal issues, and legal reasoning (ch 9; link to Lessig and his reasoning by analogy?). There are also a couple of lawsuits discussed on the archives page, above.
