[TriLUG] buying songs online

Vote with your money and at the polls.  The DMCA was written to prevent 
fair use and to make any copy protection good enough.  If you do not let 
your elected officials know that you will hold them responsible for 
selling your rights to the RIAA, the next version of the DMCA will be 
even worse.

I have e-mailed all three over the last few years about the DMCA, 
Patents and some non-technical issues.  I suggest that everybody write 
his or her congressmen.

I no longer buy Sony products because of their DRM abuse.  I also let 
Sony know by e-mail that I bought a new HP notebook (I hope it does not 
have Sony batteries) and not a Sony because of their DRM.  Just not 
buying is not enough.

I hope I kept my liberal bias out of this e-mail.
