Take it to groklaw.net if it is still active that is.

But this article will probably clear up your misconceptions.

Other than that, I can’t follow your arguments, they rather incoherant.

"But this article will probably clear up your misconceptions.

From the article you linked:

Both white box reverse engineering (decompiling the object code to reveal its structure and figure out the interface specifications for interoperability purposes) and black box reverse engineering (where you only look at a program's input and outputs) are legal normally in the US, if the goal is interoperability.
That is precisely the issue at hand. The caveat revolves around "bypassing circumvention devices" which I addressed before.

"Other than that, I can’t follow your arguments, they rather incoherant."

Er, perhaps "they are rather incoherent"?

I don't think so, they are factually correct, but I'll leave it to other readers to decide/comment.
