Stardate 20010830.1512 (On Screen): My first reaction to this was to grin, and then my second reaction was to frown. It's a joke report (go read it) claiming that attempting to fight indictments under DMCA is itself a crime under DMCA. Of course not! Well, maybe. After all, the DMCA runs roughshod over First Amendment rights of free expression, so why should the big media companies stop there? To
really protect their music and movies, why not go ahead and just ignore Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process, while we're at it? I honestly believe that if they could get away with it, they'd do so. Imprisonment without trial! That would
really prevent all those snot-nose Gen-Y's from passing MP3 files around, wouldn't it?
