DMCA -- Digital Millenium Copyright Act--a 1998 U.S. Law that greatly extends copyright protection (into some areas traditionally occupied by fair use) and makes web site hosts potentially responsible as co-infringers for sites that violate copyright. There is a belief that it violates free speech and due process and there are already suits against it. UCITA -- A hundred-plus page proposed law before many state legislatures and passed by a few which 1) Allows a company to charge high interest and apply recurring charges to your credit card used over the internet without full disclosure, and to bill any reissued cards. 2) Makes some strictures on how software companies may behave in the matter of warranties and gives their license agreements the full force and effect of law, thereby permitting them to prohibit reverse engineering to make a data import program from any competing proprietary or free software (basically allowing the vendor to lock all data you make with his programs to his programs alone in perpetuity.)
