Group 3 reading

I had heard of the DMCA before these readings and presentation, but did not know much about it. I was definitely on the side against the RIAA before the presentation and readings, but afterwards, I can at least see a little bit more where they're coming from. I still think the RIAA goes overboard, but the book publisher associations and MPAA have a little more of a case. The second article we read about fandom made me kind of angry as film and TV executives are ticking off their very fan base. The thing about Universal allowing people to advertise for their movie then telling them to stop a year later is spellbinding. I understand they need to protect their copyright, but these are the people that are lining their pockets.
