Essentially they are hurting themselves spending so much on DRM that will be broken no matter how good it is.They could use that money for better purposes.I hope they leave the guy alone. Don't shoot the messenger!
Another arms race, no one wins. Excessive DRM is doomed -- at best it will slow down people's buying of content, hardly what the authors/publishers want to achieve. Thanks for the good interview.
Read for yourself:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use</a>This law states that making such copies is not to be considered copyright infringement. However, it does not state that people must be able to make such copies.So the DMCA comes in and says it is illegal to break copy protection. Since fair use does not actually state that content providers are required to allow copies to be made, I don't know that the DMCA is actually breaking any laws. If the DMCA said it is copyright infringement to make copies of content that employs copy protection, that would break the existing fair use law that states making such copies is NOT copyright infringement.If someone went to court for breaking copy protection to make a fair use copy, I really am not sure that fair use would win over copy protection ... We may need a new law to clarify this.PS IANALPSS ... Actually reading the fair use law is interesting because it states that multiple copies can be made for classroom use - "teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use)". So if a teacher wants to discuss the topic of heroism, they can make a bunch of copies of Spiderman 2 and distribute them in class.
