Where _exactly_ did your RIGHTS change under the DMCA? I entered this
discussion on one narrow point: whether or not we are losing RIGHTS to the
media industry.

Where did you get the RIGHT for copyrighted works to enter the public
domain at a certain time? Did you somehow buy this right when you purchased
a copy of the copyrighted work? Did people who never purchased a copy of the
work never obtain this RIGHT? Do they not have a RIGHT to the expectation
that the work will enter the public domain at a certain time?
