Universal and MySpace Square Off Over DMCA

moore.dustin writes "Universal and MySpace look to be on a collision course that could shape the future of media companies and the internet. The article discusses the DMCA's impact on their case, and talks ways in which the law lags behind the realities of technology." From the article: "Yet, as lawyers prepare for battle, they do so on uncertain legal ground. The legislation at the heart of the debate, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, was written years before social networking sites such as MySpace even existed. That fact has injected considerable uncertainty into the matter, according to copyright experts, and helps explain why lawyers from both sides are proclaiming that the DMCA, as it is known, is on their side."

Bad analogy

There is no right to own guns. Not in the US or anywhere else in the world. The government has the right and the mandate under a socialist system to control every aspect of your life. The private ownership of guns is an impediment to this process and therefore must be curtailed. Anyone who owns a gun without permission of the rulers needs to be sent to prison for life or executed. We live in a communist society and you are to do as you are told. The DMCA is here to stay and it will only get stronger so shutup and OBEY.
