Red Hat Jabs at DMCA
http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/1482751
Instead of providing information about a security patch recently released by Red Hat, they opted to provide a link to the pertinent details on a European site. This might seem rather benign until you attempt to visit the site. If you're within the U.S., the site will refuse to allow you access to the information they house, citing the vaunted Digital Millennium Copyright Act as the reason they don't want you to have access to the files, lest they be exposed to potential legal hassles from the DMCA bloodhounds. Personally, I think this is hilarious. Check out the front page(http://www.thefreeworld.net/), which shows a crude representation of the world's population. Missing is the United States... entirely. That pretty much sums up the embarrassment that is the DMCA and how it has thus far been abused. I applaud Red Hat for taking such a stand and hope that clueless politicians will finally get a clue and bury that thing before it can do additional damage.
