Here's a (little) more felicitous edit I came up with for another distro:


Digital Millennium Anti-Connectivity Act

There's just no stopping them.  First the DMCA; now this.  Utterly unwilling
to confront reality, they simply turn their fellow citizens into felons,
rather than consider that outmoded, unfounded, and useless notions of
exclusive rights must not be allowed to take priority over our essential
rights and powers.
