[ale] Super DMCA defeated in Georgia

[Bob Toxen]

This is not current news but I may not be the only one who didn't hear:

Local activists also continue to stomp on the Hollywood-backed
"Super-DMCAs."  Just last month, citizen activists in Massachusetts
and Georgia succeeded in stopping S-DMCA legislation.  These
laws were quietly pushed for several years, but EFF found out 
about them in late 2002.  Since then, EFF supporters have mounted
numerous local campaigns to defeat these bills, and nine out       
of eleven states considering S-DMCAs have postponed or dropped
their consideration.  That's a .818 batting average - not too
shabby!

The Super-DMCA is even more severe restrictions on one on can legally
do with copyrighted material that used to be allowed and which is
of questionable Constitutionality and unquestionably is unfair.
