Re: [dvd-discuss] 2600's request for rehearing en banc denied

["Ernest Miller" <ernest.miller(at)aya.yale.edu>]

I am optimistic that Eldred will win, but it not clear to me how decisive or
broad the win will be.  Considering how screwed up the 2600 case has become,
I think it probably best to wait for another case or at least until Eldred
has been decided.

If Eldred is decided as favorably as I hope (not expect) it will be, then
the next DMCA case will give the defense a whole lot more ammo.
