How to undermine slamming, using the DCMA:

Someone asked in another post if there was a way to use the new
copyright act against M$. This comes to mind in discussion of slamming:

   for the purpose of cicumventing a technological measure that
   effectively controls access to a work protected under this
   title;..."
