I wish the title were different, since the talk has nothing to do with a broken internet. But the actual topic; computers working for or against their operators, DMCA as a meta-law to be exploited by private enterprise, and DMCA as restraint on public vulnerability disclosure, are all important public discussion.

The key point I heard, and I'll embellish a little further; -- legislators are passing laws like DMCA thinking they are merely trifling with entertainment options, but they are mucking with critical infrastructure, the central mediating artifact of our lives, maybe even the platform for our existence. Tread lightly.
