More on Virtual Child Pornography

An Anonymous Coward writes "As noted previously, the Supreme Court has ruled the "Virtual" child porn act unconstitutional. LawMeme has an analysis of the Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition Supreme Court decision that discusses the case's impact on copyright, DMCA, CBDTPA, and machinima as the future of pornography."

    IANAL, but this pretty clearly states that we are prohibited from talking about how to copy a DVD since actually copying one could be an infringement of the DMCA.

    You're wrong. That would be unconstitutional.

    The quote you give doesn't even have the word prohibit in it. It says something you may do, not something you may not do. Further, you left out a key part of the sentence, "acquired through the acts permitted under paragraph (1), and the means permitted under paragraph (2)". If you are not circumventing technological measures, these paragraphs don't apply.

    this pretty clearly states [...] talking [...] could be an infringement of the DMCA.

    See what happens when you leave out key words?
