Well at least we can be proud that we are not part of corporate America. Another interesting thing that could come out with all this crap, notwithstanding the protests against DMCA and Adobe, is that maybe this will help uncover how much influence Adobe had when the DMCA was written. Needless to say, corporate protectionism (aka DMCA) is akin to corporate welfare (aka the governments, federal, state, and local) being the biggest clients of Microsoft. America is becoming a government of the companies, by the companies, and for the companies.
