Say you wanted to have access to those files on your phone, because you like studying to Mass Destruction. You would need to reverse-engineer the executable, exfiltrate the files, and -- fucking OOPS! You've just violated Section 1201 of the #DMCA (Or Article 6 of the EU's Copyright Directive #EUCD), which carries a $500,000 fine and five years in prison for a first offense. Debt for life, and a criminal record into the bargain.

Poland is part of the EU, meaning that they are required to uphold the provisions of the 2001 EU #CopyrightDirective, including #Article6, which bans this kind of reverse-engineering. The researchers are planning to present their work again at the #ChaosCommunicationsCongress in Hamburg this month - Germany is also a party to the #EUCD. The threat to researchers from presenting this work is real - but so is the threat to conferences that host them:

The saving grace was an anonymous, former Medtronic repair tech, who built pirate boxes to generate unlock codes, using any housing they could lay hands on to use as a case: guitar pedals, clock radios, etc. This tech shipped these gadgets around the world, observing strict anonymity, because #Article6 of the #EUCD *also* bans circumvention:
