Part of a bigger problem (Score 1)

I've been following this issue and a few others for a bit now and I'm seeing some interesting things. What I'm seeing is a lack of IP and copyrighting laws that will actually work with the digital medium. What I'm getting out of this is that the DMCA, which seems to be more of the sticking point then the actual Kerberos issue is, just plain out doesn't work. With all the technological developments we have made over the past thirty years we have altered the world so much that it is now a new environment. The DMCA is trying to apply old style, traditional methods to a new and changed space. Truth be told the old style and traditional methods just can't really be applied to this now can they? The issue around the DMCA is just another indication of how screwed up the world is and how much more screwed up it is getting. It is one thing to run around shouting the mantras of 'This is a new world, This is a wired world' and it is totally another to really understand the fundamental changes that have happened to society. The people who came up with the current legislation pertaining to protection of digital IP apparently don't get it and from their actions neither does Microsoft. (Which is kinda funny as they helped drive the big changes.) What really needs to be done is to get systems, laws and methods of dispute resolution in place that WILL work now with these issues and will also work in the future. After all we are the people building this future.
