I agree with the sentiment that now is the time to fight, but not just in Europe. We have the power/knowledge to kick this things ass before it gets any further anywhere else, and possibly cut it out permanently if we care strongly enough.
It's good to see that someone else has cared enough to do something about it. Kudos.
How about this for a change? Instead of sitting behind our computers arguing this issue on the internet, how about getting up and doing something about it? If we really want to accomplish something, sitting here on the internet arguing out it's petty points isn't going to solve a thing, and I think that's the MAIN reason things like the DMCA will never go away.
Sure, we're are angry enough, that much is easily visible, but where's the passion to get anything done to stop it? Circumventing it and putting in all that effort to work around it could be channeled into something much more effective (i.e. creating some change), and could make life much easier for everyone...

Just a thought.
