You should hate it. :-) It is appropriate for the legislature to decide which acts are restricted by copyright and which are not. The DMCA and similar legislation hands that right to private organisations. To some extent anti-trust law guards against the worst abuses, but it is more appropriate for the boundaries of copyright to be set by our "elected representatives".
This was a joke, right? I mean, on this list, saying that our elected representatives are better than even the most hated companies MUST be a joke... right? Mark
