DMCA bad for Apple Users

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-to-mention-everyone-else dept.

Aguazul writes "TidBITS has published a really strong article on the DMCA and on how this is bad for Apple users, with some good links and suggestions for action. The author, Adam Engst, is regularly voted the most influential person in the Mac world outside of Apple, so this is a serious wake-up call to Apple users everywhere."

    Yes, it was a quality story that should have been published - and voila, now it is. And yes, Taco is a lamer and everyone agrees, that's why the parent is not a troll nor a flamebait.
