I have argued that it is legal to
- Observe in detail the workings of a cab and cab service
- To take the ideal of a cab and open up a cab service (similar, not exactly the same)
- Discuss observations of a cab and how it can be improved
If the DCMA was applied to cabs, all the above would be illegal. I am talking about IP laws that regulate what one can and cannot do with IP, you are arguing about quality of service enforcements. If you want to argue for arguements sake, go ahead, don't let me stand in the way.
And remember, keep your mitts off my bits!
If I have ever purchased your bits, I will do with them whatever I legally can whether you like it or not
"If I have ever purchased your bits, I will do with them whatever I legally can whether you like it or not" And if in so doing, you violate the terms of the contract, then I shall do to you "whatever I legally can whether you like it or not."
TTFN!
