Simon: Here is a link to the DMCA: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf One of the provisions of it, with regards to online content providers, revolves around promptly removing copyrighted material from such sites. As I understand it, some of the material in question is copyrighted under the terms of the GPL, and one could demand that, lets say for example, firmware updates be removed from said sites. That is what I meant by turn the tables on corporate america and use the DMCA against them. It might get their attention, as I understood it, that seemed to be the problem.
