Use my product or I'll sue you for not using it... PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Actually the Company has a point. The DMCA law says circumvent means "to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid,bypass, remove, deactivate or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner."

Vista, OSX, DVD players etc. do make it possible to bypass the technological measures. This company probably has a Patented and Copyrighted scheme to prevent the bypassing. I don't see how a judge could rule against the suit.

The law is clear, it is just bad law.

I see someone else is trying the SCO business model, LOL.

Turns out the company suing was previously under another name, making statements about its wonder-DRM that had many experts, including Ed Felten, thinking it was snake oil. I think their stuff didn't work as advertised, so they decided that jackpot justice was a better way to make money.
