Stanford EE380 has brought an interesting speech about the Implications of the DCMA for Innovation.
Quite interesting Video – worth watching.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it illegal to reverse engineer most technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their works and to make or provide technologies designed to enable such reverse engineering. Congress thought it was merely protecting copyright industries against “piracy” but the anti-circumvention rules are so broadly written and have been so broadly interpreted that they are stifling innovation, research and other legitimate activities. This talk will consider how and why these rules might be narrowed to provide a better balance between protecting the interests of copyright owners and promoting innovation and other public interests.
