[Bda] enfin une "bonne" utilisation du DMCA :-) et du futur EUCD...

[Jerome Petazzoni]

le contexte : utiliser un système de cryptographie dans un
système pair-à-pair, afin que le RIAA (ou n'importe qui d'autre)
ne puisse plus rassembler des informations sur les utilisateurs
sans enfreindre le DMCA...

>>If peer-to-peer networks started encrypting their searches, whether or not it
>>is strong encryption, wouldn't the RIAA have to stop. I believe breaking
>>encryption, or bypassing the encryption could be considered quite illegal via
>>the DMCA.

>You could go a bit further than that. Every P2P user could write a little poem
>(copyrighted work) and encrypt it using a trivial-to-break scheme. Then we
>could share files that are encrypted with our own copyrighted poems. Fellow
>traders would routinely break the encryption. If the music industry breaks the
>encryption, however, they would be violating the DMCA because they are breaking
>encryption in order to reveal our copyrighted work!
