You publish it as the organ-guy piano system for a virtual piano that you've lost the code for.
On a serious note: reverse engineering is legal in australia, even for DMCA violations.
- rcgy 19d agoWould love for sources / prior case law around this? I'm Australian and involved in reverse engineering insulin pumps and CGMs, and we are constantly worried about getting our butts DMCA'd.
- worthless-trash 19d agoDon't get me wrong, they absolutely can DMCA you if the hosting is in a foreign country iirc. I was under the impression thr prescedant was: Data Access Corporation v Powerflex Services Pty Ltd (1999), alongside specific provisions in the Copyright Act 1968. The australian DMCA is called the TPM, it's more aimed at Bypassing, decrypt, or circumvent a digital lock or DRM (Digital Rights Management) protecting copyrighted material. I do not think that phantom notes are encryption or rights management. If you do your hosting in australia for your code/software, the US companies will probably have a bad time trying to convince the australian courts that access is the same as copyright infringement. I'm not a lawyer, but i'll be damned if the 'vibe of it' shouldn't be a legal defense.
