"obviously this is not what congress intended when it was passing the DMCA" ummm congress members do not read 90% of the bills they vote for, the majority of them only care about the income a given bill will bring to there given state (or in some cases them selves) be it openly or via earmarks in the bill it self. So if they did not read said bill how one say its not what they intended or not.

Why is anyone surprised at the DMCA being influenced by "big business" and multi billion dollar corporations? In this country, when any multi billion dollar corporation are on the brink of complete financial collapse, our government bails them out with taxpayer dollars. The government doesn't serve the needs of average citizens. They serve the needs of their corporate masters who put them into public office. Politicians have an obligation to their political donors which are corporations.

Good video. The DMCA guts fair use like a dead fish. It is also profoundly unconstitutional. We have a constitutional right to speak anonymously on the internet, but if someone files a DMCA complaint against your video--even if the complaint is TOTALLY bogus, you can't file a counternotice without giving up your identity to the person who filed a complaint. The DMCA HAS been turned into a tool for censorship, especially on Youtube.
