Lawrence Lessig, the noted cyber-lawyer and author has a column at the New York Times (free registration required) lamenting the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Something is going terribly wrong with copyright law in America. Mr. Sklyarov

copyright. What his program did was to enable the user of an Adobe eBook
Reader to disable restrictions that the publisher of a particular electronic book
formatted for Adobe’s reader might have imposed.”
