DMCA Creator Admits Failure, Blames RIAA

Posted by Zonk on from the how-to-make-friends-and-influence-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DMCA architect Bruce Lehman has admitted that "our Clinton administration policies didn't work out very well" and "our attempts at copyright control have not been successful". Speaking at conference in Montreal (video at 11:00), Lehman lay much of the blame at the feet of the recording industry for their failure to adapt to the online marketplace in the mid-1990s."

    It's nice for someone to admit that it is a complete screw up. Unfortunately that is not enough for it to be struck down. Everyone on this site says Bush is the ultimate evil but a Clinton policy is one of the worst laws ever. It will be fun to read the responses to this that try to make it Bush's fault.

      Nah, this isn't Bushe's fault, it dosn't involve shooting someone...

      Uh, Clinton was the one who's political enemies had a tendency to die mysteriously. You may accuse Bush of being a war monger, and even big brother, but he's not one to have domestic political enemies shot.
