The DMCA is being used to silence researchers, computer scientists and critics.
Corporations are using it against the public. Public/College radio stations can no longer afford to webcast.
Internetmovies vs. MPAA to Supreme Court for Abusing DMCA, Declaring it Unconstitutional
Michael Jay Rossi, President of InternetMovies.com Inc., will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case "Rossi vs. Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)" for the wrongful shutdown of his Website in 2001. The Ninth Circuit Court ruled that good faith belief under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is subjective and not objective.
The MPAA stated, under penalty of perjury, that in 2001 www.InternetMovies.com made available for illegal download the third installment of "The Lord of the Rings," which was not actually finished until 2003. The MPAA issued a cease and desist order to InternetMovies.com's ISP to shut down the site.
