Hi, All!

One clever Russian activist and linuxoid, Anton, said
another bad thing, that can happen under DMCA:

We have PGP sources to study and find out security.
But DMCA fights our right to break security, no matter,
it is hard-coded in binary files or distributed
in open-source form.

If DMCA will survive, study of PGP (or other open-source
encryption software) code or showing its faults can
be prosecuted by FBI. :-/

Thats just another reason why we must put DMCA down.
