But if you have a key stored within the program that was taken from a copyrighted disc and then hosted online, you are distributing a portion of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder- something not protected by the first amendment.

I'm as much for fair-use as the next guy, I just think this specific case does have some legal validity. To remain kosher, BackupHDDVD would need to be recoded to extract the key from the disc during the user's session so that these keys are not distributed with the program. In this way, BackupHDDVD would be just like DeCSS and legal. Actually enforcing any legal decision is a whole other matter and a plugin for BackupHDDVD that connected to network of delocalized remote servers for newly updated key files could probably never be shutdown entirely. ]]>Mar 2nd 2007 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/backuphddvd-slapped-with-dmca-takedown-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/backuphddvd-slapped-with-dmca-takedown-notice/Mar 2nd 2007 2:21PM
