09 f9: A Legal Primer

Filed under: News — Charlie Summers @ 6:04 am

From the Electronic Frontier Foundation: 09 f9: A Legal Primer

From the story: “As was reported back in February, an enterprising hacker unearthed and posted one of the decryption keys used by AACS to decode HD-DVD movies (other keys and exploits have been made available in the weeks since). Now the AACS-LA (the entity that licenses AACS to makers of HD-DVD players) has set its lawyers on the futile mission of trying to get every instance of at least one key (hint: it begins with 09 f9) removed from the Internet…so now might be a good time to review a few of the basic legal issues raised by the posting of the keys.”

Read this article. Then write your congresscritter, urging him/her to sponsor legislation repealing the over-broad DMCA. (Of course, if you’re represented by Diane Feinstein, you’re screwed - talk about being a puppet of the entertainment cartel…)
