Today's DMCA/DMCRA update

Some more anti-DMCRA press - claims the proposed DMCA reform, the DMCRA (HR1201), contains hidden provisions with "the potential to blow up copyright protection in the digital realm."

The Blake v. Google case - comments on Google's latest win and the possibility of a DMCA "safe harbor" precedent, which might work out to be a good thing in the future.

The DMCA and the video iPod - suggests that consumers' inability to copy DVDs to the video iPod might be cause for DMCA reform. Looks like this issue is getting more media attention. Possible suit to come?
