DVD Copyright Case Mulled over by Judge

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the careful-decisions dept.

howhardcanitbetocrea writes "news.com is reporting that the judge in a closely watched lawsuit challenging the legality of DVD-copying software said she was 'substantially persuaded' by past court rulings that favored copyright holders, but closed a hearing Thursday without issuing a ruling in the case." This is a case that could very well determine the future of the DMCA, and the article does a good job of summarizing the arguments from both sides.

    I've tried xoscope and numerous others, but I can't find a decent oscilloscope for Linux. I want it to have "constant scrolling", not scroll-as-it-reaches-the-end-of-the-box. Cool Edit Pro for windoze has a very good oscilloscope in it.

    I noticed that my comment has been modded as offtopic... I quote the article: the legality of DVD-copying software. Would the moderator care to explain how my comment on Dvd copying software is offtopic in relation to a news article about dvd copying software?
