Lexmark's DMCA-Abuse Case Coming To An End

Adama writes "Lexmark is dead in the water with their hopes to use the DMCA to force their customers to buy their over-priced toner. Their request for another hearing has been denied. Ars has an especially great write-up on this." (See this earlier story for more background on Lexmark's lock-in attempt.)

Re:The Razor Principle all over

You're a great troll or stupid.

It's not a scam-- it's a well known way of selling a product. And if you go to the store you will usually see generic razors right next to the brand name razors. This case was about making it illegal to manufacture or use generic razors, to continue your metaphor.

As for printing less-- that's the part that makes me think your trolling more than just being dumb. I was gonna go home and print a few thousand man pages but now that you've shown me that the planet will be denuded in less than 100 years I wont. wow. and you've been modded up. now it is funny.
