By action I meant active expression of dislike for this law to prevent
it from getting passed. DMCA didnt elicit much of a reaction when it
was passed, and thus we are now dealing with the consequences of it
now. I agree this is very much a major issue, as it should never have
been passed as it was back then. However, my only point was that I
would hate to see the same thing happen with the UCITA.
