	The Digital-Music Politico
		Boucher is currently drafting legislation that would amend a section of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which makes it a crime to traffic in tools designed primarily to circumvent copyright-control measures.
		Beyond that case, Boucher believes that many segments of society have a vested interest in seeing the DMCA amended: "Libraries, universities and the scholastic community are announcing in a rising chorus of concern their belief that fair-use rights will be undermined" through the DMCA, he says.
		Boucher says he believed from the beginning that the language of the DMCA was flawed and tried back in 1998 to narrow its scope of crime to instances where the sole intent was to infringe copyright.

		Boucher has stayed in office because, for some reason, no “big” paper anywhere in his district holds him accountable.
		Somehow Boucher got all the papers, even the usually conservative Kingsport Times News, in his back pocket from the getgo, and they cover for him no matter what he does and sing his praises every election.

		Boucher is also fairly conservative on social issues, although not nearly as conservative as the majority of the district, according to Triplett and other Republicans.

	The Salt Lick: Congressman Rick Boucher being testy, or being tested?
		Interestingly, Boucher's piece comes only days after RT editor Dan Radmacher's self-humiliation in a Patriot Act "debate" with U.S. Attorney John Brownlee.
		Boucher is normally the deliberate chess player, keeping his rhetoric under control, stating his case in a lawyerly manner.
		This time, however, Boucher's language is harsh and accusatory, far beyond the nevertheless supportive critiques of the act by self-proclaimed liberals like former Mayor Ed Koch, for example.
