DMCA says you can't fix your own
tape-drive
07/10/2004 06:12 AMMy cow-orker Jason Schultz reports on a breaking new DMCA
horripilation: a court has ordered a company to stop fixing
tape-drives because in so doing, it makes unauthorized access of a
copyrighted "Maintenance Code."
A district court in Boston has used the DMCA to grant a preliminary
injunction against a third party service vendor who tried to fix
StorageTek tape library backup systems for legitimate purchasers of
the system.
How is this a DMCA violation? Well, it turns out that StorageTek
allegedly uses some kind of algorithmic "key" to control access to its
"Maintenance Code", the module that allows the service tech to debug
the storage system. The court found that third party service techs who
used the key without StorageTek's permission "circumvented" to gain
access to the copyrighted code in violation of the DMCA, even though
they had the explicit permission of the purchasers to fix their
machines.

Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM
The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives.

DMCA under attack?
DMCA under attack?
06/29/2004 08:29 PM
A group calling themselves the Personal Technology Freedom Coalition
is holding a press conference today to show their support for a repeal
of a portion of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The current
rules that the DMCA outline are quite forceful in stating that no one
shall “sell or distribute any product that is primarily designed
or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological
measure.” While this is frustrating to those of us that wish to
make legitimate back-ups of software, music and games, the DMCA is
quite clear that this can not be done.
Help may be on the way though with the up coming review of a bill
referred to as The Digital Media Consumers’ Rights Act. While
allowing circumventing of many of the rules outlined by the DMCA, it
will not allow for any tolerance for piracy however.

BSA Wants To Make The DMCA Worse
BSA Wants To Make The DMCA Worse
01/06/2005 07:34 PM
While the BSA has mostly sat back and let the RIAA and MPAA take the
brunt of the bad publicity for suing customers, you can be pretty sure
that they're also freaking out over file sharing and avoiding any and
all evidence about how it could help their member companies. Just as
the RIAA lost yet
another case saying they have to actually file lawsuits before
sending subpoenas to ISPs for user info, the BSA is asking Congress to modify the DMCA to force ISPs to
cooperate and give up user info without a lawsuit being filed.
This is very problematic for plenty of reasons -- not the least of
which is that it would turn ISPs into an enforcement arm that will be
forced to monitor how people use their network. ISPs just provide the
service. If companies have a problem with what an individual is
doing, they should file a lawsuit and then request the info from the
ISP. Without a lawsuit, it's all just a fishing expedition. At the
same time, however, the BSA is at least interested in exploring
some amount of patent reform -- including plans to make it easier to
challenge granted patents. That might be a slight improvement -- but
it could also lead to many frivolous challenges. It seems a much more
reasonable idea is to open up the patent process so that people have
an easy process to make prior art claims before a patent is
granted.
Lexmark DMCA Battle Far From Over
Lexmark DMCA Battle Far From Over
11/03/2003 04:24 AM
Last week, soon after the Copyright Office made their four
tiny exemptions to the DMCA, a story started spreading widely
saying that the Copyright Office had said it was okay for companies to
create chips that circumvent copy protection for use in printer
cartridges. This artic
le was the result of a press release from Static Controls, a
company engaged in a legal
battle with Lexmark over offering such technology. The press
release was a bit misleading, and many people misinterpreted the announcement, as if the
Copyright Office was a judicial body ruling on the Lexmark case.
However, the real details are a bit more complex. First of
all, the Copyright Office actually ruled against Static
Control's requested exemption - but did say that reverse engineering
is already allowed, and therefore doesn't need a special exemption.
Static Controls declared that as a victory, and many people
incorrectly interpreted this as some sort of judicial victory for
Static Controls over Lexmark. However, the Copyright Office is not a
judge and wasn't deciding any case. In fact, the court in the actual
case ruled
against Static Control back in February and granted an injunction
against the company preventing them from selling its chips.
Meanwhile, Lexmark is still claiming victory themselves - saying that
the exemption only applies to reverse engineering and they contend
Static Control did more than reverse engineer the chip. They believe
Static Control stole the chip design outright. Either way, the case
is going back to court and the Copyright Office's rulings should have
little impact.

On Copyfight, Donna writes,
This just in: the California Institute of Technology and Loyola Law
School are presenting a mock trial this Friday, May 21st, to play out
a scenario in which a student creates a distributed computing
application to crack DRM systems, leading to the criminal prosecution
of everyone involved under the DMCA.
The trial will have many realistic touches: a real federal judge will
hear the case, the prosecution will be advised by real federal
prosecutors, and the defense by EFF 's Fred von Lohmann. Brad Hunt of
the MPAA will provide expert testimony for the prosecution, while EFF
Staff Technologist Seth Schoen will provide testimony for the defense.
Even cooler: the event is free and open to the public. If you're in
the Los Angeles area and can get away from work or study mid-day, stop
by and check it out.
