Hi

Lexmark sued an ink cartrdige refiller for violating the DMCA.
The ink cartrdige is "copyrighted", and the making of lexmark cartridges is
illegal accoring to 1201 of the DMCA.
1201 is the evasion of copyright protection schemes.
before DMCA no chance of winning such a case ... now good chances !!
That, and the fact that Alan Cox did not publizice 2.2.20 kernel changelog with
the comment, that he wants be able to move freely in the US, and that he could
be arrested because of the DMCA, if he would release the changelog, should be
enough to get people thinking again ... and to stop the "I have read it ...
there's nothing bad in it" attitude.
CU, Ricsi
