Okay, I see what you're saying. The petition title suggestion of repeal seems to be downplayed to only anti-circumvention notions.
On the other hand, the safe harbor provisions under the DMCA just protect you from penalties under the DMCA. I'd vote repeal the whole debacle (granted I haven't read the DMCA in a few years, but I don't recall seeing anything I liked save for the self-limiting provisions of the statute).
Edit: I'm wrong. Was thinking of just Title I. Title II and III are indeed worth saving!

- haven 14y agoTouché. After looking at it, I realize I was thinking of just Title I of the DMCA being the whole thing. You are totally right about Title II & III (Title IV boat vessel hulls... heh)! Now that I'm better informed... (thanks!) I change my position to repeal of Title I of the DMCA in its entirety, not the entire DMCA.
- caffeinewriter 14y agoThe sad part is this will most likely end up providing us with a history lesson on the DMCA instead of any actual action. Same with the petitions to legalize marijuana and most of the other ones.
