[free-sklyarov] NEWS: ZDnet article & Related Case

[Cyhawk]

To me, It sounds like ZDNet's Idea is that we (Anti-DMCA) are Evil (by calling us
Hackers, which to the public means evil) and that by us being "Evil" We (the good
people) shouldnt support "they're" Futile Attempt at repealing a perfectly ok Law.
Oddly enough, ive shown this to several people who dont have anything to do with
the DMCA/Anti-DMCA or even programming/etc. And they all came to that conclusion.

Id also Like to point out

Wherein a San Jose Court to declare Frence Laws unenforceable in the US

Sound Familiar anyone?

Unfortunanly The Case is still in the courts. Watching this case could prove
useful in getting the DMCA revoked and declared Unconstitutional. By Having this
Case Win for Yahoo, it could sway the Courts in the Determination of the DMCA
is or is not Legal/Constitutional, It wont be the Final Nail in the Coffen, but it
will\
prove to be moderatly powerful in the final decision.
