  1. "From the moment his (Trump's) 'Liberation Day' tariffs landed, any country that upheld its anti-circumvention laws was sacrificing its national competitiveness, resiliency and integrity in exchange for *nothing*."
    Cory Doctorow about the US- anti-circumvention law, copyright and enshitification of every US product in: "The age of disinvention".

  6. Here's another case for @pluralistic et al when opposing #DRM #anticircumvention while addressing #nationalSecurity hawks or #defence personnel.

    And a reminder to everyone else: there's never a good reason for a device to require a network connection to its manufacturer, nor for a device which could operate offline, LAN-only, or site-to-site to connect to its manufacturer by default.

  12. As @pluralistic's has pointed out over and over, there is no longer even the pretense of a reason to keep enforcing the DMCA's enshittogenic "anti-circumvention" rules. Imposed on the world by US corporate interests through "trade agreements" they are now openly breaking. We must convince our lawmakers to decriminalise adversarial interoperability, and regulate in support of the Right to Repair, vendor-neutral technical standards, etc.

  16. "What if there was a way for a business to transform any conduct it disliked into a felony, harnessing the power of the state to threaten anyone who acted in a way that displeased the company with a long prison sentence and six-figure fines?

    Surprise! That actually exists! It's called Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the "#anticircumvention" clause, which establishes five-year sentences and $500k fines for anyone who bypasses an "effective access control" for a copyrighted work."

    Let Cory (@pluralistic) explain it. He's good at explaining #enshittification, or as the rest of us call it, the 21st goddamn century.

    As an aside, there should be a branch of the Judicial tree that is staffed by people who understand technology and the implications therein. (Just sayin, as someone who had thousands of pages of material stolen "fairly" for LLM.) These courts don't understand what they're ruling on.

    > I donʼt know how to make it but Iʼd be happy to promote it!

    Plenty of people in Aotearoa could make it, but first we need to decriminalise it. With a Right to Repair bill that protects technological circumvention - for otherwise legal purposes - as a basic right in a democratic society.

    I mean, computer scientists being allowed to publish and speak about circumvention is part of basic academic freedom, which is violated by current anti-circumvention laws.

  25. Now that the Orange One is threatening new tariffs until Greenland is sold out it is high time to make @pluralistic idea of repealing anti-circumvention laws such as The European Copyright and Information Society Directive. It would be a powerful and creative way to strike back at US imperialist expansionism.
