DCMA cuts both ways. How much money did artists, musicians, actors, directors lose due to piracy before DCMA?

Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House and came one vote away from impeachment by the Senate. Johnson's crime was telling his secretary of war "Your fired!" Congress had passed the Tenure of Office act which stated that the President could not dismiss appointed officials from the Cabnit unless he had consent from the Congress.

Thanks for posting that information. I did not realize that was the case
