New policies may just result. Does the DMCA protection stand up? Will the new filtering technology prove adequate, either technologically or legally? Etc. Maybe this is just the sort of case the DMCA needs. (A law which, by the way, I think goes too far, along with most copyright law, especially as applied to new technologies/markets or possible fair use exemptions, etc.) Well, all of these comments (Mark\’s and responses) have valid points; all this copyright/DMCA crap is messed up.

The solution? Don\’t buy.
