mattOzan writes "On the tenth anniversary of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Wired Magazine posits that the DMCA should be praised for catalyzing the interactive "2.0" world wide web that we enjoy today.

While acknowledging the troublesome "anti-circumvention" provision of the act, they claim that any harm caused by that is far outweighed by the act's "notice-and-takedown" provision and the safe harbor that this provides to intermediary ISPs.

"It's not perfect. But it's better than nothing."
