I think I gave some clear examples of behavior against the wishes of the product company being for the public good. Security research would be another. If you want to pick and choose which to support would you choose only yourself as the final arbiter?
Public interest includes:
* Common carrier status
* Desegregation
* Product Safety
* Privacy
etc.
- tptacek 16y agoThe DMCA specifically exempts product safety research, so this seems like a red herring. Let's get back to the subject at hand. In a free market, why shouldn't I be allowed to sell a game with an enforceable contract against bots?
- trotsky 16y agoWell that was, in fact, the entire point of listing it. It's included because people believe it's for the public good even if the producing company doesn't wish to allow it. If you agree that some things fit this criteria, then all we're arguing about is to what extent companies should NOT be able to restrict how you use their product.
