Press release from the Electronic Frontier Foundation discussing the results of a court case led by Princeton Professor Ed Felten challenging the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Felten, you may recall, removed information about decryption software from his website after being threatened by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The judge threw out the case after 25 minutes after hearing motions to dismiss the case from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the RIAA. The EFF plans to appeal, saying "This judge apparently believes that the fact that hundreds of scientists are currently afraid to publish their work and that scientific conferences are relocating overseas isn't a problem."
