"Only about 20 Washington-area Linux users and administrators showed up Tuesday morning in front of the Capitol building to protest a controversial federal law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."

""To a great extent this was an experiment to see if we could do a protest," said David Niemi, a network engineer at Sallie Mae."

""I wish there was some way to get more people to learn how this would affect them," said Ken Firestone, a DC Linux users group member who is a system administrator at a newspaper."
