Believe or say what you want, but the fact remains that the courts have consistently upheld the DMCA and that the license agreements on purchased, off the shelf software is legal.
What the hell does Bush have anything to do with copyright laws? As far as I remember the DMCA was signed during the Clinton Administration, making it even harder for people to leagally excerise Fair Use.
With most software you are granted a license and do not necessarily 'own' the software. Within the license agreement the grantor has the right to limit or refuse you the right to make a copy. So by breaking the license agreement you are also violating the DMCA.
I would be curious to know how much money has been spent developing DNF. It's gotta be in the stratosphere by now. Unless, of course, they just have one guy working on this thing the whole time. Which I doubt.
You obviously did not read the article. It states, "Our AOL sysadmin says, 'HTTP 1.1 has lots more features than most people use,' but AOL can make good use of many lesser-known ones like chunking, that are not supported by Explorer because, says our AOL sysadmin friend, 'MSIE doesn't follow the spec correctly.'"
I would think this would make more standardized pages look screwed up on IE.
