Good, because it is a major source of what's wrong in this country.

"The Fatcats" is a way of saying people with power that put their need for profits over the freedoms, safety, health, etc. of the people. No one blames corporations for making money (well ok a few do). What upsets people is when companies try to screw people over or limited thier freedoms in the name of profits.

The DMCA does just that. Its a law that should have NEVER been passed. Much like the virtual child porn law. It won't stand up to appeal when/if someone decides to fight it that far.

Not everything is done with malice, some are just mistakes. For example, granting a patent on the BRCA (aka breast cancer) gene sequence. That patent should never have been granted.

i think the "virtual child porn" law has been struck down..

isnt that the one where they put a childs head on a "young looking" adult?

i remember hearing about it many months ago on the news..
