> valve said that dolphin circumvents encryption, which is illegal under the DMCA The article explicitly mentions that the DMCA has an exception for interoperability that they believe applies to Dolphin: > ...a person may develop and employ technological means to circumvent a technological measure, or to circumvent protection afforded by a technological measure, in order to enable the identification and analysis under paragraph (1), or for the purpose of enabling interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, if such means are necessary to achieve such interoperability, to the extent that doing so does not constitute infringement under this title.
