 Yet another clear reason why the DMCA is such a bad law. California based Media Rights Technologies is suing Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and Real for NOT USING THEIR MRT X1 SeCure Recording Control software. The claim is that because the media giants aren't doing enough to protect content, they should all be held in violation of the DMCA because they're not using MRT's much better DRM. Guess it depends on your definition of "better". Isn't this the most ridiculous self-serving spin you've ever heard of? The Register reports...A California-based DRM software company has sent cease and desist notices to Microsoft, Apple, Adobe and Real Networks for not using its product. The likes of Microsoft and Apple usually love all the DRM they can get. In this case, however, Media Rights Technologies and its subsidiary BlueBeat.com said in a press release Thursday, the four software giants' failure to implement the MRT's X1 SeCure Recording Control software is a violation of the infamous Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
