"Congress adopted the DMCA in recognition of the risk to the American economy that digital technology could easily be pirated and that without protection, American companies would unfairly lose technology advantages to companies in other countries through piracy, as had happened in the 1970's."
The DMCA has NO FORCE over seas. Does he really think the DMCA will keep a company in China, for example, from cracking and copying any software they want? The US Congress passes a law and so the world must obey it? What?!?!
AND
Other than the fact that it's a law dealing with copyrights, what does the DMCA have to do with the SCO vs. IBM contract dispute or the GPL? Nothing! It's just a good buzzword to mix in more FUD and attention.
