Parts of the DMCA are alright, but I think section 1201 should be outright repealed. Everything it intends to cover, can already be covered under either "copyright infringement" or "theft of service."
On top of that, I'd like to see certain forms copyright infringement for the sake of repairing/maintaining equipment, be made legal (so you can legally hack a tractor to get it to run, without relying on a fair use defense). Of course this is a much more complex discussion than just repealing 1201.
