The unfortunate thing here is that most don't have a clue. Aside for not understanding technological issues, the people who they trust to explain the issues to them are representatives from the MPAA, RIAA, Microsoft, etc. When the DMCA (not the Super-DMCA) was passed, only ONE senator actually read the entire thing. They rely on summations - most of the time given by people who support the bill - as their basis for voting. Let your representatives know how you feel. And PLEASE do your best to thoughtfully EXPLAIN why as well. "Don't vote for this" does very little in swaying their opinion.
