DMCA founder comments on lack of success: McGill Conference

Last March, McGill hosted a conference at the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy . In a recent episode of the great program "Search Engine" from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) they published some of thoughts the person (Bruce Lehman) who played a key role in drafting the DMCA (from his presentation at the conference), including doubts about the DMCA and how well it has worked (and not worked).

You can find a video recording on youtube.

There is also a link to a MP3 recording which I found thanks to a nice review on the Digital Copyright Canada web site.

If you have concerns about this law, or the incipient Canadian version, see the previous article which includes links regarding what you can do.
