I respectfully disagree with you. A judge would have to enforce your interpretation which is ridiculous from the standpoint of fair use. I believe there are countries already that are refusing to prosecute people who circumvent copy protection schemes to make legitimate personal use copies. Now then, if a vendor wants to offer me a digital copy that I can download legally, that is a whole lot easier than trying to overcome copy protection. > Section 1201 Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems > > "[...] No person shall circumvent a technological measure that > effectively controls access to a work protected under this title." > > http://www.copyright.gov/title17/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
