"Using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act"

The DMCA has generally been (ab)used by megacorps to stifle Free Speech and generally make artists' lives miserable. People have seen videos THEY RECORDED taken down because some twat working for a media corp thought it might have something to do with the crap his company was selling.

The DMCA has also been copiously used as an excuse to shut someone up when said person was justifiably exposing wrongdoings or something that could make a corporation look ridiculous.

How ironic is it that the one good use of this otherwise nefarious piece of trash is to protect cheaters ?
