Not that I'm saying the DMCA should be done away with, but this is yet another example of how it is stifling technological development in the most advanced country in the world and the sole superpower. I mean, if the government is going to hinder technology, it should think of the impact it will have on the rest of the world. Unfortunately, where America goes, the world follows.
