The San Jose Mercury News printed my letter to the editor today:

ROBERT Holleyman warns that new copyrighted content might disappear without protection from the DMCA law.

The pro-copyright lobby has been telling us for years about how copying technology such as Xerox, VCRS and computers are going to ruin book publishers, movie makers and software companies. And yet every new technology has increased the amount of content available to the consumer.

The DMCA is based on a concept that copyright owners should have absolute control over what the consumer can do with the product. Copyright holders have never had such control in the past, and there is no reason to think that such control is desirable in the future.
