Here's a (little) more felicitous edit I came up with for another distro:


Digital Millennium Anti-Connectivity Act

There's just no stopping them.  First the DMCA; now this.  Utterly unwilling

rather than consider that outmoded, unfounded, and useless notions of
exclusive rights must not be allowed to take priority over our essential
rights and powers.
