McCain Meets The Monster He Made

Presidential candidate John McCain has run afoul of the monster he and others have made.
The McCain team are upset that an interview of McCain by Kattie Couric of CBS was taken off YouTube after CBS demanded it removal.
YouTube removed the clip in accordance of DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) that McCain surported.
Enter the EFF. The EFF (Electronic Frontire Foundation) The EFF has told both CBS and YouTube that the clip was part of the "Fair Use" under copyright law. YouTube reply was simple we dont care. They are just following the DMCA.
Maybe and this is a big maybe McCain and others will take a second look at the DMCA.
