European High Court Will Examine DRM Anti-Circumvention Rules
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, taken to its logical conclusion, one might think that means if you
| can break DRM, then you haven't violated the anti-circumvention language,
| because you've proven that the DRM is ineffective. It's a bit of a logical
| pretzel. So, while I agree that it's silly to make discussion of
| circumvention illegal, the legal reasoning was a bit twisted.

Coalition launches petition demanding that Amazon drop DRM from the Kindle
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation's DefectiveByDesign.org campaign, in cooperation
| with prominent authors, journalists, and librarians, has launched a petition
| against the Amazon Kindle's use of digital restrictions management (DRM).
|
| "The freedom to read without supervision or interference is central to a free
| society," said FSF executive director Peter Brown. "When ebook products like
| the Kindle use DRM to restrict what users can do with their books, that is a
| clear threat to the free exchange of ideas."
