A Potential Victory for Consumer Rights?

"The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has been wreaking havoc on consumers' fair use rights for the past seven years. Now Congress is considering the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act (DMCRA, HR 1201), a bill that would reform part of the DMCA and formally protect the "Betamax defense" relied on by so many innovators."

Good to see that SOMEONE in Congress is tech-savvy. I seriously doubt this bill will pass, though. When was the last time that US Congress passed legislation which actually BENEFITED citizens at the detriment of corporations?
