Fascism is the combination of large corporations and government power. The DMCA is a law that was passed by bribes to politicians by the content industry (e.g. RIAA and MPAA). Laws such as the DMCA that makes it a crime to reverse engineer products that one has purchased are totally incompatible with freedom.
The US is not a free country and hasn't been so for a long time. I first realized that it was no longer a free country when the 55 MPH speed limit was put in place. But this, like other nibbling removals of freedom since, was too little to cause me to "jump out of the pot". I'm like the other 99% of people in the U.S. who are being cooked like frogs in a boiling pot.
