DMCA Takes a blow
Technology Law Bulletin: winter2005.pdf
I have never been a fan of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. I’ve always thought it was nothing more than an attempt by big businesses to control our access to the technology we purchase under the guise of protection from piracy. It never really protected anyone from piracy, it just allowed big business to silence their critics by suing scientist who research security vulnerability and limiting reverse engineering.
This court decision makes a good cut to the powers of DMCA. Hopefully the trend continues.
