With ALL due respect to everyone.
It makes no sense to go to DC for this.
We're not likely to get press, and they're not going to listen to us.
We need, as far as it's important, 20000 letters in the comment period
saying DRM is theft.
And then, when they come back, we can look to make another trip
to DC. Their ability to tie up the different forms of Governemt
agencies is greater than our ability to run back and forth to DC.
Focus and drawing fire on DRM is theft everywhere and push for
the Fair Use Bill. The Bill makes everything else redundant
and effectly tames the DMCA.
KEY POINT - The Bill makes the standard of evidence that violation
of copyright took place that the use was not fair use, placing the
burden of proof on the Monopoly.

because it's either fair use or useless....
