Here's my understanding, surely to be corrected... The '"anti-circumvention" crap' allows the copyright holder to effectively eliminate fair use, but I don't think your example does. Without the DMCA, Alice could provide tools that cricumvent the restrictions on music placed by Bob's Music Conglomerate (can I just call them BMG for short? ;). Your example hinges upon 'linking' as being the only way to access the music in the object file, but it wouldn't be. -- Matthew Weigel Research Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ne [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
