A federal jury has convicted a Florida man of violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, in the first jury-trial conviction under the controversial law, according to a U.S. attorney's office.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act--a revision to US copyright laws--has taken a real beating recently, thanks in large part to a high-profile case against a sympathetic computer programmer branded as a criminal hacker.
In the wake of worldwide criticism, Adobe Systems has agreed to withdraw from a case charging a 27-year-old Russian programmer with violations of the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The FBI took a Russian encryption expert into custody at his Las Vegas hotel for publishing software that cracks a variety of methods used to secure e-books.
Code-crackers risk fines and prison time when they defeat copy-protection technology, but such draconian rules likely don't apply in the case of RealNetworks and its iPod "hack," legal experts said.
