PENMANSHIP AND MARKSMANSHIP TO BOOT!!!

this is a bullseye shot, into the DMCA, on behalf of
dmitry and the american people!

YES the DMCA is unconstitutional!
YES the DMCA is a subsidy to american corporations! 
YES the DMCA is being used to bully, coerce, and
intimidate!
YES the DMCA truncates and suppresses speech!

if maden et al reload, frewing et al will be
prosecuting a case with a statute as full of holes as
our american flag at fort mchenry!
