Between Microsoft, RIAA, software patents, and the DMCA... It looks like we might yet get to relive all the fun and excitement of McCarthyism and the Spanish Inquisition. I wonder if we'll get to burn people at the stake and have public stonings too?
Ask Maher Arar if he's real concerned about the infosec realm being the next arena of McCarthyism.
I'm just as critical of the DMCA and failures of the intellectual property concept as the next guy, but I don't think we'll be hearing about fourteen year-old VB scripters being called before the House Un-American Activities Committee any time soon.
If you're worried about the erosion of freedom and democracy there's no need for hypothetical articles from 20X6.
