EFF Report: Four Years Under the DMCA

kylus writes "The EFF has a pretty nice article entitled "Unintended Consequences." Basically, it reviews the last four years of life under the law, and how use of the "anti-circumvention" clauses have been used to stifle innovation, censor free speech, and threaten academic/scientific research. It ends with a conclusion most on /. have been dicussing for ages: "Four years of experience with the "anti-circumvention" provisions of the DMCA demonstrate that the statute reaches too far, chilling a wide variety of legitimate activities in ways Congress did not intend."" You've joined the EFF, right?

DMCA fighting aside, I saw some serious FUD from the EFF about the patriot act and other legislation. I would like to see a less political group to send my money to. I want my money to go to good causes and not red herrings.
