I'm not talking about the copy protection, but the software being protected.
Surely if the work being protected isn't copyrighted, there's nothing to circumvent in terms of the DMCA?
- direwolf20 9mo agoA non–copyrighted work can still have a copy protection measure
- TheDong 9mo agoBut would the DMCA ("Copyright Act") still apply when there's no copyright? Here, let's read together: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201 > No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title > protected under this title A work not protected under title 17, copyright, is thus not covered.
