DRM/DMCA do nothing to address reimplementation (it can't, see all
previous posts on how it is a LEGAL activity).
In my observation, DRM/DMCA addresses unauthorized audio and video content
copying.
So, if Open Source is all about reimplementation, and DRM/DMCA is about
"protecting" audio/video content, where is the connection?
Larry, this is the point YOU are missing.
