The DMCA has finally been used to prosecute someone who was infringing on copyright. It's the first time.
Mohsin Mynaf, a 36-year-old from Vacaville, California, was accused of running a videocassette reproduction lab in his home to pirate movies that he rented or sold at three video stores...

``It's the first time the DMCA has been used to go after someone who is actually infringing copyright,'' Robin Gross, an EFF staff attorney, said after hearing about the Mynaf plea agreement.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
