Just wondering, but have the Judges considered whether or not the DMCA allows for Government operations? Can I sue the NSA for decrypting my copyrighted material? Can issues facing the Court be slowed or halted simply by invoking the DMCA? What about access to records used by attorneys? Say for example that Microsoft presents all of its information to the prosecution in encrypted format. The defense can't use it because it would violate the DMCA to decrypt it without appropriate permissions. Meanwhile, Microsoft has the permissions necessary, and can use its own files to benefit itself. Completely off base, or is there something to this?
