And why are the protests limited to Adobe when the FBI and DoJ are doing the dirty work -- well, actually, low-level FBI and DoJ? Oops, that's right, don't fuck with workers-pissed- at-their-bosses who have the guns which they'd like to turn upstairs.
Agreed. In the end, it's not Adobe that's the problem. Many companies like the DMCA and many will use it to seek advantage in the market. Targeting Adobe misses the larger picture. A unanimous Congress enacted it and a grinning President Clinton signed it. They should be the proper targets of protest. -Declan
