Agreed. In the end, it's not Adobe that's the problem. Many companies like 
the DMCA and many will use it to seek advantage in the market. Targeting 
Adobe misses the larger picture.

A unanimous Congress enacted it and a grinning President Clinton signed it. 
They should be the proper targets of protest.
