Oh well, we feared it would happen soon enough, and now it has. The
rational world's fears that the DMCA would be used to suppress
bonafide security research are no longer theoretical. As LWN has
eloquently warned us many times, the world is becoming a bizarre
and scary place. Tell me I'm wrong people - is HP somehow behaving
reasonably to protect its interests? Or is this just taking the
worrying Sklyarov precedent another step further? I don't really
want to imagine what sort of world we'll be inhabiting in another
few years....
