Is the DMCA Really That Bad? -- 2:01 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

That's what this News.com column is asking. The author is not attempting to defend the DMCA, which he calls "an egregious law and a brazen power grab by Hollywood, the music industry and software companies" which "should be unceremoniously tossed out by the courts." Rather, he is saying that some, like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, are resorting to fearmongering to whip up support against it. FUD is always FUD, even if it is for a good cause. Thanks Slashdot.
