Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA?

Kerry's response: 'open to examining' whether to change current law 'to ensure that a person who lawfully obtains or receives a transmission of a digital work may back up a copy of it for archival purposes.'

Kerry voted for authorizing the use of military power should it be deemed necessary, as did most with him. Bush decided on false evidence it was necessary. Spin away.
