FAIR USE Act of 2007

Those who read my blog are aware that I maintain copyleftist views. So it should come as no surprise that I am higly critical of DRMs and laws persecute technology just because it can be used in a way currently contradictory to the law. I specifically speaking of the DMCA. All sorts of otherwise fine and legitamate activities have been shut down because of this act. This is why I support the FAIR USE Act of 2007. Almost a decade later, we now have a bill that will lighten many of the gravest abuses that the DMCA was prone to. Technologies like TiVO and iPod will no longer be under threat of lawsuit and we will be more free to use the machines and media that we purchase as we see fit and not as one of the big five media companies see fit. I encourage anyone reading this to write to their representative in support of this bill. You can easily do this by visiting this website.

Thank you and God Bless.
