Abolish the Digital Millenium Copyright Act

Why Is This Idea Important?: The abuse of the DMCA is well documented: http://www.eff.org/wp/unintended-consequences-seven-years-under-dmca http://blog.aclu.org/2008/08/25/online-service-providers-and-content-owners-must-protect-political-speech/ http://pubcit.typepad.com/clpblog/2007/10/how-to-use-the-.html http://news.cnet.com/2010-1071-281575.html http://anti-dmca.org/whats-wrong.html Defenders claim that it can be fixed and is necessary, but Techdirt (www.techdirt.com) has repeatedly shown that it is more commonly used by large businesses to suppress more newer, more innovative business models and tools.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) is continually used to abuse law abiding citizens and take away their rights. I propose to abolish the DMCA.
