A Kindler, Gentler DMCA

A Kindler, Gentler DMCA
Actually, it is just the opposite. Earlier today Declan McCullagh reported that a new expanded version of the DMCA is being promoted through the halls of Congress. The usual suspects (RIAA, MPAA) are hailing it as an improvement in protecting their vested interests, however for everyone else it will be as fun as getting poison ivy on your sunburned legs. One wonders when merely referencing a copyrighted work will be deemed a DMCA violation.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
