I dumb. Please explain how rebooting violates the DMCA?

Not sure if he meant it this way, but I took it as a joke. Just like
when that teenager was taken to court for violating the DMCA when he
held down the SHIFT key to circumvent the latest and greatest copy right
protection on audio CDs. It was a silly idea to begin with. Their
'protection' would only load if you had auto-run enabled, which can be
disabled completely or situationally by holding down the SHIFT key. It
was pretty evil once it did load though, would try and crash Windows
amongst other things. So be warned, if you find away around copy
protection because of limitations of a Windows only feature you probably
shouldn't it post it all over the internet. Unless you have great
lawyers anyway. ;)
