that the DeCSS Trial began by showing a clip of The Matrix. The matrix, in the movie, is an artificial world over which practically no one has any control – a seamless environment. Which seems pretty similar, in a way (though I know it’s more than a little disingenuous to say so), to what the Digital Millennium Copyright Act would propose. A world in which no one but the owners have any access to any media product (aka song, story, book, creative thought).
