In regard to the recent ruling by the US Federal court in regard to the production of the DIVX software in favour of the defendant, it appears logical that "research on technologies and mechanisms" without proactive intent to exploit are lawful and not discouraged by the federal regulations of current. I suggest such research in the fields of Cryptography, Software and Hardware Security, Encodings and Compression, and any related fields are all related to the current court rulings. -WLG [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
