Laws like these are much easier to overturn when they start making criminals out of everyday, ordinary people for just doing their normal jobs. Suddenly even dumb judges and, especially, elected officials, get the idea because the pressure gets put on by everyone. Of course, I still think this is an extremeist view of the DMCA. I don't see were it keeps you from posting information about security fixes to your own code, just not other peoples products.
