Still playing DA, would a notice page saying "only authorised user past this page <NEXT>" constitute an access control, in the strictest sense?

- JohnFen 4y agoNot in my view. In my view, an "access control" is a mechanism that prevents access to unauthorized people. An advisory page like that is not preventing access, it's merely asking people not to access. I think I remember that there have been court cases that support this interpretation of the DMCA, but I'm not sure. Now, if that notice page had a login form or only allowed certain IPs to proceed, that would be an access control.
