Tangentially related: Back in July 2009, a hacker (Benjamin Moody) published cracked (through a brute-force effort that took over two months) private signing keys of TI-83+ series, allowing calculator owners to e.g. replace the firmware with an open alternative. Texas Instruments responded by filing several DMCA Notices[0] to websites offering the private keys. EFF intervened with an open letter as well as DMCA counter notices. Texas Instruments did not reply within the allotted time, and ceased its intimidation attempts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_signing_key_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_signing_key_...
