says, in part:

Those are fighting words to copyright lobbyists and their supporters, who
have depicted the DMCA as a fair and reasonable compromise that, like a
sleeping elephant, must not be disturbed.

"Nothing has changed since 1998 that would lead members of Congress to upset
the careful balance that was struck," says Bob Holleyman, head of the
Business Software Alliance.

can learn about the compromises and careful balances?



It also says:
"As far as I know there have been very few complaints from intellectual
property holders," Coble, the chief sponsor of the DMCA, said in an
interview Tuesday.

No duh!!!
