Supreme Court Lets Utilization Rights Stand

Moof writes "The United States Supreme Court refused to hear a case between a programmer and his former employer. What makes this news is the fact that the court is letting stand the rulings of the lower courts: Essentially if someone owns a physical copy of software, then they are allowed to modify the code as part of their regular use, no matter what other agreements are in place."

For a minute I thought the court was being fair minded ... but now I see that this benefits a corporation so naturally they ruled this way.
