I've been in Austin all weekend. On Friday, I spoke at the University of Texas
|
|
about EFF issues. Jon Lebkowsky was there -- hell, he organized it -- and he
|
|
blogged the hell out of the talk:
|
|
|
|
Entertainment industry has tradition of attacking technology: the piano
|
|
roll, the radio (sued by vaudeville), television (would destroy cinema!),
|
|
"the Betamax affair"... the latter being the first consumer VCR. In Betamax
|
|
case, argued that the ability to make a full copy of a broadcast work would
|
|
not be a fair use (in terms of copyright). It was illegal enough that the
|
|
VCR should be kept off the market, they argued. The Supreme Court got the
|
|
case, and the thing that shook out of it was the Betamax principle: a
|
|
technology is legal so long as it has substantial non-infringeing uses.
|
|
This principle is under attack.
|
|
|
|
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 1998. Illegal to defeat a copyright
|
|
measure. Regionalization system for DVDs. This is a control that limits
|
|
distribution. John Johansen in Norway figured out how to break the content
|
|
scrambling system and allows you to move from one region to another,
|
|
override copy protection. It was called DeCSS - Johansen is facing trial
|
|
for creating a piece of code.
