If you find a security hole in somebody elses software, you cannot publish your findings, That would violate the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and exposing you to possible prosecution.

Can you imagine if this law applied to telling others about for example a car safety defect you discovered? You would be forbidden to tell anyone aobut it because it would violate the Vehicle Millenium Copyright Act, exposing you to possible prosecution.

Wonder whose idea this was? Wonder whose software has more security holes than swiss cheese? Wonder who knows they have security holes but does nothing about them until someone screams.

Do you have a list of people who have been successfully prosecuted under DMCA?
