EFF lawyers don't get rich.

ROFL just reading his name makes me laugh now. Is he still touting how tight he is with Michael Jackson? What a more-une, what an im-bessle. Hahahaha. Hey Uri, bend this! LOL

The companies who paid for the Congress to pass the DMCA don't want there to be any recourse against improper uses of the DMCA since they are the ones most likely to misuse it.

Of course, this is great pub for all.

Does anybody know if California has a SLAPP statute and whether it would apply to a DMCA cause of action?

"The companies who paid for the Congress to pass the DMCA don't want there to be any recourse against improper uses of the DMCA since they are the ones most likely to misuse it."

Then the best way to [mis?] use it is to turn it back on those companies. eg. Find someone whose picture or house or anything that they can say is theirs got into the movie or TV program and demand that the movie or program be withdrawn.

Seems like as good an excuse as any to mention I Am Spoonbender's album Buy Hidden Persuaders is available for "free and legal" download.

(Though for me, nothing will touch the original Thought Industry.)

Do not try and bend the law. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.... Then you'll see, that it is not the law that bends, it is only yourself.

Hey Uri! What am I thinking?

Wow, that's amazing! How did you know I was thinking "You're a douche"?

Okay, what am I thinking now?

Wow, right again!

Apperently, Uri's amazing psychic talents make him blind to the concept of Fair Use.

Stick a spoon in Uri; he's done.
