I believe there is a big difference between proprietary formats and DRM. In the U.S. it is not illegal to reverse engineer a proprietary format. It is illegal to reverse engineer encryption used for DRM. (IANAL) Tony Lauck https://www.aglauck.com

There's very little practical difference between a proprietary format and some encryption that calls itself DRM. ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
