„Imagine, for instance, something potentially sold at Radio Shack that would connect between the DVD player and your TV screen and that would make a non-digital copy of the DVD onto VHS. On the one hand, something like this is supposedly legal. But, it's hard to see how such a device is significantly different from the very function of 321's software which is now illegal.“

„Finally, one point that I just cannot pass up mentioning is that in the patent, immediately after explaining how women complain about the failure of men to lower a toilet seat after use, the inventor makes the parenthetical remark: "Never heard are complaints about women not putting the seat up after use!" Discretion being the better part of valor, I will just report this statement, reserve any comment and step back and let the water cooler chat begin.

„In order to resolve that question, we need not explore all the different potential uses of the machine.” It is not an infringement for Sony to have brought to market a machine that enables easy home copying of Universal’s films from TV. The Court held that, “The District Court found: ‘Even if it were deemed that home-use recording of copyrighted material constituted infringement, the Betamax could still legally be used to record noncopyrighted material or material whose owners consented to the copying. An injunction would deprive the public of the ability to use the Betamax for this noninfringing off-the-air recording.’ ” People who make TV copies enable themselves to see films they want by capturing them on tape and watching them later. Why now all the fuss about copying? “http://www.musiclawyer.com/lib/ napsterdcssp2.html - Cached
„We have been told to expect attacks since 9/11; that cyberterrorists would try to cripple our power system, disable air traffic control and emergency services, open dams, or disrupt banking and communications. But so far, nothing's happened. Even during the war in Iraq, which was supposed to increase the risk dramatically, nothing happened.“http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0306.html - Cached
„Well, my family doesn't watch that much TV at all, but we're not smug about it. In fact, most people that I know who don't watch TV at all or only 1 show a week are not smug. They just prefer not to watch it b/c a) they don't really have time (which is my own usual reason), b) they don't really enjoy TV (which is OK, I mean everybody has their likes & dislikes, & TV isn't in my top 5...no offense Mr.“http://www.lotsofco.org/archives/000924.html - Cached

„In particular, I would like to know how the judge distinguished or followed such decisions as Reimerdes, Elcomsoft, Chamberlain and Lexmark (no 321 because the decision was issued only days before, and 321 doesn't add anything new to the mix). For example, we could have a decision much like the one in Chamberlain, which created a pseudo-distinction because the judge didn't like the outcome logic would have dictated (Judge Asserts Pseudo Distinction to Preserve DMCA).“http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/ 002149.html - Cached

„The essential facts entitling plaintiffs to injunctive relief against defendants'linking activities remain undisputed. Defendants do not offer any argumentto refute plaintiffs' contentions that (1) linking under the circumstancesof this case, to sites that post DeCSS, constitutes "offering to the public"or "providing" an unlawful circumvention device within the meaning of §1202(a)(2); (2) linking to other sites which post DeCSS is just as effectivea DeCSS delivery mechanism as posting, which this Court already has enjoined;and (3) defendants added 313 hyperlinks to their web site between January20, the date of this Court's Preliminary Injunction Order, and the date ofplaintiffs' motion to modify, and still more since then. The vast majorityof these hyperlinks allow DeCSS to be downloaded via2600.com's web site with just a few mouseclicks.1“http://www.2600.com/dvd/docs/2000/ 0610-replies.html - Cached
