I remember when the DMCA was first being proposed and I was trying to tell anyone and everyone that anti-circumvention would be disastrous. I must admit that I had no idea how bad it would be.
I knew that media companies would use it to enforce DRM, but I had no idea that John Deere would use it to brick tractors or that Medtronic would use it to stop hospitals from repairing ventilators.
@notjustbikes I've no idea what this all means, but it sounds like something I'd like to understand better; could you elaborate a bit (like if you were talking to someone who knows nothing about all this) or point me to a page that would sum this up but starting from the basics?
@silmathoron @notjustbikes I believe this is a reference to Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic) talk at 39C3.
His talk is a good starting point to learn more:
