If you can’t make working DRM, outlaw breaking any DRM.
Makes sense. I mean, since our content providers can’t seem to make DRM that can hold up to cracking for more than 10 seconds (remember the Sony DRM/break with a piece of tape comedy-of-errors?) then just outlaw anyone that works around DRM.
“Mandatory prohibitions on breaking DRM, even if doing so for a lawful purpose (e.g., to make a work available to disabled people; for archival preservation; because you own the copyrighted work that is locked up with DRM)”
This means that just about anyone can claim that anything is DRM, including putting it in a folder called “DRM,” and if you “work around it” to make backups, etc., you’re a criminal.
Man, Obama, I was like, rooting for you too. Quit keeping this travesty a secret!
