What does copyright have to do with this?
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI'm not an expert, but I think in the Blizzard v Glider case the courts decided that if you've violated a program's EULA it becomes illegal copyright infringement to duplicate the bits from your disk into RAM
- blincoln 3y agoI think the implication is that bypassing cert pinning could be considered a violation of the anti-circumvention provisions in the DMCA and WIPO Copyright Treaty, because it results in decryption of copyrighted content without the permission of the copyright owner. IANAL, but in the US, at least, I think the exemptions for good-faith security research[1] would apply. Maybe even the reverse-engineering for interoperability language in the DMCA itself[2].
