Pam Samuelson has a nice article in Science (online at
<http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/293/5537/2028> ) describing the
threat to scientific research posed by the anticircumvention rules.  A good
URL to pass on to those not yet involved in the fight.

I hope it will help get the attention of the broader scientific
community.  She specifically calls for scientists to make themselves heard
in the legislative and judicial process -- through advice to Congress and
amicus briefs (like the cryptographers'  and computer scientists'  briefs
in 2600 :-).
