There is illegal bringing-to-market of technology. I think selling ground-to-air
missiles to the US domestic market is illegal.
That is because there is a law against it.
No technology has ever been, or can ever be, illegal under copyright law
anywhere in the world that is a signatory to the Berne convention. That is
because the copyright law is a law against copying copyright-protected creative
expression fixed in a medium.
The technology might infringe on patent protected inventions, but cannot
infringe on copyright. Examples of a technology might include copyright
protected software, but it is not illegal under copyright law to sell technology
in which you own or licence the copyright, creative expression or patented
inventions.
A technology, by definition, cannot infringe on copyright protected creative
expression that is not an integral part of the said technology.
Audio cassette, reel to reel audio and video cassette technology have all been
accused as an incitement to copyright infringement. I don't think this assertion
has ever been upheld by the courts in the history of technology.

Good luck with that.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Is there ANYONE in the government who still has an once of common sense left?
Mr. Oman was also involved with the draconian copyright extension laws in 1976.
The copyright system is just of tool of the big media corporations, which would
be happy to have NO term limits on copyrights. Who's gonna be getting royalties
90 years after the authors death? (In 'work for hire' contracts, the _company_
owns the copyright). Congress needs to WAKE UP, and put limits on these
blood-sucking parasites*.
