Ask the noobie if he's found the definition of copyright protection yet, and if it includes the use of malware.
That's not the question. Does the DMCA EXclude malware, as you claim? Prove your own claim.
Also let me know when you find anyone anywhere being prosecuted for removing any malware from any computer anywhere.
Still completely irrelevant.
At that point you will have some proof that some forms of malware can't be legally removed from your computer.
Even a cursory reading of the DCMA establishes that.
You're the one talking in circles, not I.
Show some proof of anyone, anywhere, ever being prosecuted for removing malware from theit system.
Show me anyone anywhere ever even being threatened for removing this one, including the millions who rightfully removed it.
You can't, obviously, because your claims that anyone would or could ever be prosecuted for removing it are ridiculous. It was malware, and Sony is rightfully paying a price for distributing it, not those that removed it.
