] (D-OH) to the heads of the House Judiciary Committee,
] requesting a Congressional hearing on Diebold's use of
] the DMCA to silence democratic speech I think he's a little out there on some things, but this really makes me happy. I will definitely watch the Rep from Ohio long after this election cycle is over. (disclosure: i am firmly in Dean's camp). In case you didn't hear, earlier in the week, Kucinich posted parts of the Dielbold memos on his website. |

] Diebold's actions are representative of a growing body of
] abuses through which large and powerful parties unfairly
] intimidate ISPs to remove information those parties do
] not like. In other examples, the claims are not really
] about copyright, but about not showing the parties in a
] negative light, or not allowing consumers to compare
] prices, or quieting religious critics. Powerful parties
] should not be permitted to misuse copyright as a tool for
] limiting bad press and barring access to legitimate
] consumer information. Hear! Hear! |
