... to someone who thinks the Ceaser cipher is top of the field of
encryption.

Didn't Adobe go after a Russian after he told the world their encryption scheme
was basically ROT-13?

I haven't seen a DRM scheme that is actually effective, so is there
anything
actually covered by the DMCA's definitions?
"Effective"
doesn't mean uncrackable. That wouldn't actually make sense,
because
uncrackable DRM is uncrackable and therefore doesn't need any legal
protection.
The idea is that a copyright holder doesn't have to enter into an arms
race with
the cracker, which costs time, resources, and creates the risk that
legitimate
users might be locked out by DRM gone wrong. The DRM must just be
enough so
that you can't just copy it, but have to buy some software, or some
hardware, to
help in the copying, or figure out something really clever that an
average person
can't. Even if the method to make illegal copies is widely
known, it is still an
effective protection according to the law.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
