Sklyarov Case Opens Today

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-use-the-pirate's-entrance dept.

weakethics writes "The trial is scheduled to start today in the case of Adobe/DMCA versus Skylarov/Elcomsoft/right-thinking-people everywhere. The SF Chron has a story about it. It quotes a former DOJ attorney about the impact of the DMCA "I don't think it's had the effect that a lot of people have argued it would have -- with a single criminal case in four years." Who obviously (purposefully?) misses the point: it's about intimidation rather than litigation."

      Thank you for your response! This was highly puzzling to me! I want everything the Tivo offers, plus: 1. The ability to add drive storage as I see fit. 2. The ability to record and play back MP3s from any source (TV, radio, CD, etc), as well as load MP3s from a network or CD-ROM. 3. The ability to record into the system from any video medium (tape, DVD, VCD, mpegs off the net, etc). 4. Other file storage for regular data files, etc. 5. Network support using standard protocols. 6. Open spec system, to allow OS choice!

    In Soviet Russia...

    ...Natalie Portman pours hot grits down your pants and leaves you at the mercy of Ogg who hits you with a Beowulf cluster of Open Source CD-ROMs.

    Enough said.
