TI issues a DMCA notice to hobbyist group United-TI (re: key factorization)
- yan 17y agoInteresting point from the hack-a-day thread of comments[1]: "This article lashes out pretty bad against TI. Please keep in mind what they have to lose here. It’s not about keeping software proprietary. It’s keeping their calculator OSs standardized so they can keep their approval for national tests such as the ACT/SAT. I.e. a TI-89 is not allowed on them, but if some hacker can force an 89 OS onto the 83, then that would mean the TI-83 couldn’t be used either. I’m all for hacking something, but TI stands to lose their entire market share because of this. Keep in mind your ethical responsibilities. Hackers have it too. A site like hackaday should hold it in much higher regard." [1] http://hackaday.com/2009/09/22/ti-lashes-out-at-their-biggest-fans/ http://hackaday.com/2009/09/22/ti-lashes-out-at-their-bigges...
