"The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) tilted the balance in our copyright laws too heavily in favor of the interests of copyright owners and undermined the longstanding fair use rights of information consumers, including research scientists, library patrons, and students at all education levels. With the DMCRA, we intend to restore the historical balance in our copyright law that has served our nation well in past years. "

As mentioned here before, the DMCRA is an important piece of legislation that will be considered this year.  It aims to knock the DMCA down a peg and restore our fair use rights.  The EFF is starting a campaign to get the word out to your representatives.  Drop them a letter and let them know you want your rights back.
