...the DMCA was "signed into law by President Clinton on October 28, 1998":

So it's not Bush's anything...

The cops in the US cannot use hacking powers to break into computers suspected of any criminal activity without a warrant....

however, and this is the one thing I detest most about America(ns).
under the Bush's DMCA,
them ****ards in RIAA, MPAA can hack into anyones computer running any P2P software, scan their drives, then waltz into court saying, "judge subpoena this evil terrorist 8 year old boy, for he did take without asking"
