Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA

Posted by timothy on from the bizarre-consequences dept.

Reeses writes "Adobe has asked a U.S. District court to allow them to embed ITC and Monotpye fonts in their documents, claiming "Adobe has asked the court to declare that Adobe's popular Acrobat product does not violate certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) as claimed by ITC and Agfa Monotype." Which is interesting after the Skylarov/Elcomsoft debacle from a year or so ago. I guess they figured that it didn't apply to them since they enforced it."

    Wow, you're an amazing dullard.

    Free Marken uber Alles? Hello, flyspeck, it's not the free market that passed the DMCA--it's a hyper-active government that did so.

    Bought and paid for legislation? Yes. Still legislation, and has nothing to do with the free market. Grow a brain.
