  The Nuclear Weapon of Digital Rights Law
  By Sebastian Rupley
  February 27, 2004

  Few examples of technology-related federal legislation have stirred up 
  more controversy in recent years than the Digital Millennium Copyright 
  Act (DMCA), and now the European Union is considering a similar, yet far
  more sweeping act -- one that could extend to virtually all kinds of
  intellectual property protections -- which critics describe as "nuclear
  weapons of IP law enforcement."
