'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainly'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainlyPosted May 3, 2007 8:06 UTC (Thu) by cate (subscriber, #1359)In reply to: 'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainly by tetromino Parent article: EFF: 09 f9: A Legal Primer For the part private medical records of the residents of Minneapolis, I think it is because of privacy laws. And I don't think distribution of HD-DVD or they keys has something to do with privacy: the purpose of DVDs is to be distributed and to be shown. The credit card number is more interesting. I think tat the owner, the shop and the bank cannot distribute the number, per contract. But IMHO, IANAL, if you distribute the credit card number (you break the contract), the other people (that obtained the number legally, they are not binded to your contract) can distribute it. But maybe also this is in some commerce, money, payment laws. The laws are not so general as you think, so every new application give interesting results (both in interpretation of old laws and in the rules of new laws), until it stabilize in something intelligent.
