Shifting grounds and shifting public support are causing even some strong copyright proponents to reconsider their position, according to this article covering the proceedings of a copyright conference at the University of California at Berkeley. Recent rulings, such as an injunction against a company that recycles toner cartridges, have undercut support for the law. "This is a travesty," said Alex Alben, vice president for the Seattle-based firm (about the ruling). "This is not what we intended when we created the DMCA."
