It clearly states that reverse-engineering DRM is illegal.<BR/><BR/>A "rule-of-law" issue would be is some people were able to circumvent DRM, but others weren't. Another "rule-of-law" issue would be if it were used to prosecute people for reasons that had nothing to do with the original intention of the bill.<BR/><BR/>Also, the DMCA has explicit permission to revers-engineer for security. Thus, malware cannot hide behind the DMCA to prevent reverse-engineering.Robert Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879238874208877740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-81019430894926545022008-12-15T12:31:00.000-05:002008-12-15T12:31:00.000-05:00I thought the same thing when I saw that Batman mo...I thought the same thing when I saw that Batman movie. It almost seemed like blatant propaganda for violating the Constitution. I wondered if it was "product placement" for America's current policies. Definitely not a welcome theme.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280644250533859717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-36403491725358660232008-12-14T23:17:00.000-05:002008-12-14T23:17:00.000-05:00Well written, and makes some very interesting poin...Well written, and makes some very interesting points.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we do look at the application of law arbitrarily. Ask any self-professed "hacker" and the application of law to things like the RIAA's copy-protection is bad, but reverse-engineering explicitly protected code is not?<BR/><BR/>In an interesting case... ask yourself how you would feel in this situation - a piece of malware (presumably covered by the DMCA) is wreaking havok on users... is it OK to reverse-engineer the piece of software to the end of stopping it? Do the ends justify the means?... tough questions.Rafal Loshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106347834259269413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-89833710655330494832008-12-13T13:20:00.000-05:002008-12-13T13:20:00.000-05:00Suggestion: Kill yourself over the Lori Drew case ...Suggestion: Kill yourself over the Lori Drew case decision and have the United Nations go after the US DoJ for violating the ToS of the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Jk... nice post... enjoyed the read.drehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414510788948258195noreply@blogger.com
