You knew that it wasn=92t going to take long for critics of the Digital
Freedom Campaign to make their voices heard. It was bad enough that
about a dozen of them showed up to the press conference that launched
the Campaign, now Cary Sherman of the RIAA has printed this opinion
piece that tries to make supporters of the campaign seem pro-piracy
and anti-artist.

Of course, the Campaign is not about legitimizing infringement (I
read one pro-industry blog that describes PK, EFF, CEA and our allies
as the =93Piracy Rights Movement=94 - nice). It is about preserving the
rights of the public under copyright, rights that continue to be
diluted by an entertainment industry bent on making consumers pay for
every copy on every device they own. You can read my full response to
Cary=92s piece here.
