How far does the DMCA reach in europe? It feels like we need some reverse engineering of widevine.
- holtalanm 7y agoan open-source implementation of DRM that is compatible with widevine would be a step in the right direction.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoIs it patented ?
- BlueTemplar 7y agoWell, I know that in France, breaking DRM is illegal (law has been aligned to EU's, which itself has aligned itself on DMCA), BUT in practice when a consumer association has tried to force the hand of justice by not only breaking DRM, but posting a detailed tutorial of how to do it (while hiding behind the "private copy" defense), and outing themselves to law enforcement to force a trial, the judge has dismissed the case by considering them as irresponsible due to force majeure : https://www.lesnumeriques.com/loisirs/proces-anti-drm-classement-suite-n5522.html https://www.lesnumeriques.com/loisirs/proces-anti-drm-classe... (fr) Now might be a good time to do it, considering the lack of love for Google in EU these days ?
