It seems that the DVDCCA is unhappy. I'm not sure if their use of the word
"terrorists" is meant as an analogy or to actually refer to us.
Mr Kessler notes "The court held that trade secret laws are unconstitutional to
the extent they provide for prevention of dissemination of the trade secret".
That's exactly right Mr. Kessler. Trade secrets laws only punish those with a
duty to keep the secret. The general public has no such duty, despite how much
you feel it should. Repeat after me: The fact that you have a secret does not
reduce my rights.
