Lexmark's DMCA-Abuse Case Coming To An End

Ars has an especially great write-up on this." (See this earlier story for more background on Lexmark's lock-in attempt.)

    I think that is cruel and inhumane. Trees were not made to be cooped up in little farms, just waiting to die!

    I for one, only use paper from free-range rainforests.

    that the DMCA is the RIAA/MPAA's law. If they want the government to protect their market share, they're going to have to buy their own law.
