DMCA Means You Can’t Delete Files On Your PC?
I saw this article over at Slashdot and thought it was a good read. What are your views on this subject, should users be able to delete files on their PC, or should we have the chance of being sued everytime? You can register to be able to comment on this topic here.
“According to Wired, John Stottlemire found a way to print duplicate coupons from Coupons.com by deleting some files and registry entires on his PC. Now he’s being sued for a DMCA violation. He says, ‘All I did was erase files or registry keys.’ Says a lawyer: ‘[The DMCA] may cover this. I think it does give companies a lot of leverage and a lot of power.’ So now the copyright cartels are saying that not only can we not copy things on our computers, but we can’t delete things on our computers? Time to buy stock in Seagate.”
