DMCA Prevents Photoshop Support of Nikon Camera

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the see-this-is-a-good-law dept.

Will writes "PhotoshopNews.com reports that the risk of getting sued under the DMCA prevents Adobe from fully supporting the raw file format of Nikon's top professional camera Nikon D2X. The file format contains encrypted white balance information that is necessary to render the image correctly and while the encryption can and has been broken, Adobe fears getting sued under the DMCA if they decrypt the data."

    No, the only people who get screwed by this are photographers who just want to use their normal tools.

    Only on slashdot would some retard think this is about software companies.
