Fair Seuss

If Dr. Seuss was alive today, he would have written this poem about the DMCA/BPDG/CBPDTA:
I did not like 1201(k).
I wish that it would go away!
I do not see how they can say
that further mandates are O.K.
They do not even know a way --
a way they'd put on Table A --
devised by the DTLA,
or Sony, Sharp, or RCA,
to let Joe Kraus e-mail today
to his wife (she is far away)
a TV clip his son is on.
See how Joe's fair-use rights are gone!
