Well that is why the title say sort of.

We are not an Overseas DVD duplication house, but the MPAA thinks we are the same evil even if we are making backups under Fair Use.

Funny article:

"God and MPAA Denounce Human Genome Decoding" - January 22, 2003

here's an excerpt:
The MPAA now has God on its side, claiming that applications such as DeCSS and the Human Genome Project grossly violate several clauses of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

According to God, technology capable of decoding the human genome could make it easier to clone or redistribute certain copyrighted individuals. "While you may physically own the cells themselves," God said, "You do not own the DNA code on them."

Where was it I read about it being illegal in the EU to "circumvent any effective protection". Isn't that oxymoronic? If the protection is effective, it can't be circumvented. Or, put another way, if it can be circumvented, then it isn't effective.
