DMCA 2, Freedom 0
Politech is featuring this press release from EFF stating Judge Garrett Brown of the Federal District Court in Trenton, New Jersey, threw out the EFF-Felten case challenging the DMCA after less than 25 minutes of debate. DoJ and RIAA both made motions to dismiss the case, which the court granted. We'll have a story about what occurred at the hearing tomorrow. EFF plans to appeal. In addition, 2600 is reporting that they've lost their Appeal in the 2nd Circuit court.
...that the $10,000 Wil won on Weakest Link for the EFF will come in handy!

``Mickey Mouse is more important than national security; Mickey Mouse has gotten a federal appeals court to agree that they can have scientific research and/or software censored, while the DoJ, representing national security interests, was unable to get an appeals court to censor encryption reserach, publication, or software.'' -- Scott A Crosby
You don't walk into your local Wal-Mart and buy a list of credit card numbers. DVDs are rather common there though.
And what was that quote about encryption? "If encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will have encryption?"
I thought it was: If encryption is outlawed, only gcrqu2 ryfg fgegd vfwtq djxdt.

The president lied under oath.
It was not in a trial, it was in a deposition. The deposition was taken in the context of a civil case (not a criminal one). No judgement was made as to wether this lie was "relevant" and therefore rose to the level of perjury. he was never charged with perjury, never tried for perjury and never convicted of perjury.
He lied about the whereabouts of his cock. He was asked about where he stuck his cock and when and under what circumstances. The questions about his cock and the whereabouts thereof were asked primarily to embarass him. The republicans who were suing him intended to publish information gleaned from the depositions so that they could talk about his cock on TV. He knew this and he lied.
Given that the question should never have been asked in the first place I say it's no big deal. The whereabouts (or the shape and the size for that matter) of Bill Clintons cock is not my concern and I for one am not at all concerned that he lied about it.
I won't comment on the rest of post as it's pretty silly
P.S. Can you point out the acual lie under oath? Next time you complain about lying under oath you should say "in this depostion he was asked weather or not he stuck his cock in this girls pussy and he lied about it and that's wrong because I really really care which pussy his cock was buried in"

I think the checks and balances are intact for the following reason:
I'm just as afraid of Bush and Ashcroft screwing up our country as I am of the judiciary. Let us also not forget that congress' wisdom was what got this stuff into court in the first place. The checks and balances are just fine... each branch of government is exceptionally capable of screwing everything up!
