Subject: [sb1116] ALERT: Texas "super DMCA" moving through the legislature

Alert!
Senate Bill 1116 - the Texas "Super DMCA" Anti-Circumvention Bill (also HB2121) is currently blazing through the Texas legislature.

SB1116 has passed out of the full Texas Senate.
It was ammended several times and is less heinous, but is *still bad* for consumers & techies, overbroad, and unneccesary.
Read the latest analysis by EFF-Austin and ACLU-Texas at:
<http://wiki.effaustin.org/index.php/latest%20analysis>

The bill now goes to the House.
Faxes, letters, calls, or visits to your Tx House Rep's are your last opportunity to oppose this. You can find a sample letter and info about contacting your Rep's at:
