Authoritarian copyright maximalists like yourself are the fringes of society and are an enemy to a free society. People just want to enjoy the content they purchase with out having layers up on layers of DRM and other broken non-sense blocking that enjoyment at every turn and spying on their every action
>> the EFF claims that the DCMA is an "unconstitutional" law because it enshrines the right of an IP holder to utilize digital copy protection mechanisms ... .Ignoring that copyright law is one of the few areas of law that the U.S. constitution specifically empowers Congress to legislate (Art I, sec 8 cl 8).
They are not ignoring that at all, while Congress was given the power and authority to enact limited copyright laws to promote the useful sciences, that authority does not extend to violations of Bill of Rights, or other provisions in the constitution or other Amendments
For example using the copyright law as a justification Congress could not pass a law saying general warrants could be issued for an entire apartment building to look for copyright infringement, as that would be a violation of the 4th amendment.
The EFF is making that claim the some sections of the DMCA violate the Bill of Rights, namely the 1st amendment
