DMCA Prevents Photoshop Support of Nikon Camera

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."

Do they have a department that can help you with your capitalisation?

Re:The enemies of Democracy are right here at home

[Chris Burke]

My problem was that you linked to BlackBox with the text saying it was the home of the enemies of democracy, when it's Diebold and others who are the real enemies.

I didn't say BlackBox was the home of the enemies of Democracy, I said the enemies of Democracy are here at home, with a link to BlackBox for elaboration. I assume that anyone actually interested would follow the link and learn more.

I'm sorry if this isn't clear enough for you, but like I said it would serve no purpose to link to Diebold because they don't explain how they are the enemy of democracy. In fact, they might tell you the opposite! And it isn't just Diebold, anyway...

Would it make you happy if Democracy were the linked word instead? To avoid any negative connotations that five seconds of reading the linked page would indicate don't exist? I'm not sure it matters; we've all been screwed, nobody cares, and maybe I should find a new issue to cram in my .sig.
