http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,45548,00.html Rep: Give Fair Use a Fair Shake By Declan McCullagh (declan(a)wired.com) 12:55 p.m. July 25, 2001 PDT WASHINGTON -- Rep. Rick Boucher wants to spring a Russian programmer from jail. Boucher, a maverick Virginia Democrat, is hoping to rewrite a federal law that led FBI agents to arrest Dmitry Sklyarov in Las Vegas, Nevada, last week on copyright felony charges. "It's a broad overreach to have a person arrested under the federal criminal laws simply because they made software that circumvents a technological measure," Boucher said. Boucher said his office will draft a bill to be introduced later this year. The criminal law in question is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which was obscure enough when Congress enacted it in 1998, but has emerged as the one of the most important and far-reaching technology regulations. Sklyarov is charged with trafficking in a program to bypass Adobe's copy protection for e-books, a federal felony under the DMCA. "I think the current case adds impetus to the growing effort to fashion an amendment to the DMCA that would restore the classic balance (of fair use rights)," Boucher said. That promises to be anything but a trivial task. Leaders of the House and Senate subcommittees that oversee copyright law said Tuesday that they would not consider any changes to the DMCA. [...]

Assasination Politics in the Middle East

Ok, the Subject line is a bit of a stretch, as there's no anon payment, but it is interesting nonetheless. Israel to look into Arafat murder ad Monday, 23 July 2001 12:32 (ET) Israel to look into Arafat murder ad By SAUD ABU RAMADAN GAZA, July 23 (UPI) -- Israel's attorney general on Monday said he would consider opening a criminal investigation into an advertisement that urged anyone who had the opportunity to murder Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, the Haaretz newspaper reported. The paper said that a leader of a group called Zo Artzeinu, Moshe Feiglin, and three movement colleagues signed the advertisement, published in the Makor Rishon newspaper by the right-wing group. The ad called on any Israeli to "point your rifle at his (Arafat's) plane when it flies over the Jewish settlement..." The ad also urged members of the Israeli secret service to "open fire immediately at Arafat's convoy whenever driving in the streets of Gaza and the West Bank." Legal officials said they doubted indictments could actually be submitted against either the Zo Artzeinu members or Makor Rishon's editors. Since a tougher anti-incitement law was recently defeated in the Knesset, said the paper, prosecutors lack the legal tools needed to indict the sponsors of the anti-Arafat message. But Member of Knesset Ran Cohen from Meretz Party urged Israel Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein to charge both the Zo Artzeinu members and Makor Rishon's editors. Rubinstein also ordered the Israeli army, the police and the Shin Bet security service to take firm, uncompromising action against "extremist Jewish settlers who harm innocent Arab civilians." Meanwhile, Rubinstein reportedly convened a secret meeting last week with top security officials to consider ways of clamping down on vigilante actions that harm Palestinian civilians, including women and children, said the paper. Officials at the meeting considered various legal steps against extremists, particularly in the Hebron area, such as banning their entry to flashpoints on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Ha'aretz said that no decision had been reached regarding the imposition of such restraining orders on Jewish militants. http://www.vny.com/cf/news/upidetail.cfm?QID=204957

Prohibiting direct business interaction with government isn't the same as getting rid of government. And no, getting rid of government isn't practical. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
