How Laws Restricting Tech Actually Expose Us to Greater Harm
(Wired): http://www.wired.com/2014/12/government-computer-security/
"And that's why the current regulatory paradigm for computers,
inherited from the 16-year-old stupidity that is the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act, needs to change. As things stand, the law
requires that computing devices be designed to sometimes disobey their
owners, so that their owners won't do something undesirable. To make
this work, we also have to criminalize anything that might help owners
change their computers to let the machines do that supposedly
undesirable thing."
