Removal of Photo Credit Qualifies As DMCA Violation

mattgoldey writes with this excerpt: "A federal appeals court in Philadelphia has reinstated a photographer's copyright lawsuit against a New Jersey radio station owner, after finding that a lower court came to the wrong decision on every issue in the case. Most significantly, the appeals court said that a photo credit printed in the gutter of a magazine qualifies as copyright management information (CMI) under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DMCA prohibits the unauthorized removal of encryption technology or copyright management information from copyrighted works."

    For a car analogy of parent:

    If you run over somebody, don't back into their body and run it over again. And again. The courts find it really hard to believe that it was an accident otherwise.
