Love it or (more likely) hate it, the DMCA has anti-circumvention provisions in it, and breaking out of a sandbox sounds like it matches that.
> Are you saying Google should publish exploits of Variston's systems? There's kind of a "two wrongs" problem there; such information would likely require illegal hacking ("accessing a computer system without permission") to discover.
I don't think there's actually any problems here, as long as the "publish" portion is adhered to. Making sure they don't break the law in finding those exploits would be the hard part though, as you note.
- tptacek 4y agoThe DMCA anti-circumvention provisions apply only to technology that protects content covered by the DMCA; it doesn't criminalize arbitrary sandbox breaks.
