Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA
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.
i come to you today to undue this great wrongdoing. we must stand together and fight the hypocrisy that is the dmca and the pure satanic evil that is disney (even tho donald and mickey are cool by me, but daphne and minnie are stuck up).
let us create a new company. let us all donate $5 to said new company. let said company develop a product. let said company develop another product which violates the dmca provisions for the first product.
said company will sue said company, and hopefully make the news.
fellow geeks, fellow slashdotians. ask not what your would-be-blown-on-arcades-and-anime money will do for your geekism, but what your geekism can you for your would-be-blown-on-arcades-and-anime money.
