„ Lexmark is using DMCA to attack companies making aftermarket toner cartriges for their printers. So Lexmark will be able to design their printers using cheap Indian engineers, and use cheap Indian call centers to service customers, but will be able to make it impossible for me to purchase Taiwanese aftermarket toner cartriges in exchange. At least the European Union is fighting for consumers rights. I wonder if the EU would accept an application for membership from the US?“http://way.nu/archives/2003_01.html - Cached

„In an apparent first, Hewlett-Packard has invoked the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to stop researchers from releasing information about software bugs. Until now, the DMCA has been used by copyright holders to prevent, for example, release of programs that allow for the circumvention of copyright protections. But H-P sent a letter to SnoSoft, a group of researchers, saying that the group faces fines of $500,000 and jail time for releasing information about a bug in an H-P Unix application.“http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/ 2002_07.html#000120 - Cached

„First, the demands that come under the DMCA are in conflict with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, which prohibits colleges from giving personal information without first informing the student. Second, they charge that the RIAA should have filed its subpoenas in Massachusetts instead of Washington, DC. And now Pacific Bell Internet Services is challenging more than 200 subpoenas on the same grounds: that they violate their user's privacy and that they should have been filed in California, not Washington, DC.“http://docbug.com/blog/archives/ 2003_08.html#000019 - Cached

„The first expert from the CSPA document show the intent to utilize encryption systems not as content protection but as a negotiating "hook." The encryption is specifically disclaimed as not being the means of content protection "protection comes from compliant devices." This is of concern particularly as it is the position of the MPAA and the DVD-CAA that this "hook" encryption has unlimited DMCA 1201 protection and thus has the force of the entire US government behind it. That's no "hook," that's fishing with high explosives! Further, it says that the encryption has nothing to do with protecting the content -- it's all about controlling the behavior of devices that want to use the content.“http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/occ/dmca2000/ johnzulauf.html - Cached
