Hey, TI, Leave Those Kids Alone / Fighting hobbyists with the DMCA
,----[ Quote ]
| And TI's DMCA claim fails for another reason, as well: running
| software of your choice on your calculator has no "nexus" with
| copyright infringement. The courts have made it clear (1, 2)
| that you need a nexus with infringement if you want your DMCA
| claim to stick. This is not about decrypting copyrighted code
| so that you can distribute it to the four corners of the
| Internet. This is about running your own software on your own
| calculator. So where's the copyright infringement in that?
