> If I buy a locked safe at an auction and it contains a bunch of copyrighted paintings, nobody would get mad at me for breaking the lock so I could get to them. What else am I going to do? Hang the safe on my wall? The problem only arises if I start copying the paintings and distributing them. This is why DMCA 1201 is such a worthless weasel and needs to be destroyed. If you're circumventing in order to commit copyright infringement, that's already illegal and you don't need a separate rule for it. If you're circumventing in order to do something that isn't copyright infringement, why should that be illegal? |
