'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainly'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainlyPosted May 3, 2007 22:40 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: 'component, or part' of a circumvention device, almost certainly by louie Parent article: EFF: 09 f9: A Legal Primer
A book is also not a technology, service, device, component, or part thereof. (It could be a product.)
Again, the DMCA is odious, but it is not omnipotent. It doesn't outlaw electrons, metals, RAM, or computers, despite that all of those may be involved in a circumvention, because that would have been recognized (even by congress members, or at least their staffs) as over-reaching. The MPAA might wish that numbers were included in the list, but they just aren't.
Was it an oversight, or a deliberate choice? It shouldn't matter, but if we can show a draft that included numbers (or language that would include them), that ought to be very persuasive even to somebody as stupidly hostile as your typical judge.
