Is there a way to make this case into something
"physical" which the judge can easily grok?
Construct a device (physical) which somehow
encrypts via enclosure, so that if you
remove the enclosuer you break the encryption.
Put a lock on the enclosure. Now every
locksmith could be used to violate the DMCA.
...
Also, I was wondering if this isn't an issue
which the NRA wouldn't be interested in.
As programmers we *manufacture* devices
(or instructions for devices... whatever)
that can be used for wrong doing.
The DMCA is punishing the manufacturer, not
the user who actually violates copyright.
Under this logic, we should charge the
gun manufactures for all of the killings
that happen daily....
Best,
Clark
