Of special interest to security researchers, mentioned specifically. Via The EFF. [snip] The EFF has today sent EMI Music an open letter [.pdf], urging it to: * Agree not to assert any claims under Title 17 of the U.S. Code (or similar statutes in other countries) against security researchers who have been, are, or will be working to identify security problems with copy protection technologies used on EMI compact discs; * Agree not to assert any claims under the end user license agreement (EULA) that accompanies copy protected EMI compact discs against security researchers who have been, are, or will be working to identify security problems with copy protection technologies used on EMI compact discs; and * Agree to take reasonable steps to ensure that vendors who supply copy protection technology to EMI also agree to waive any legal claims as described above against security researchers who have been, are, or will be working to identify security problems with copy protection technologies used on EMI compact discs.
