Big win for competition
Huge victory in the Lexmark v. Static Control [pdf] case today. Lexmark can't use the DMCA to keep its competitors from marketing cartridges that work with Lexmark's printers.
With luck, this opinion will become the Hush-A-Phone decision of our time. “Of course,” we'll say. “It's unthinkable that someone could use the DMCA to stop competition.”
It was not always so.
