New Wow, there is going to be some gnashing of teeth
Quoting a quote of the judgement here.
We should make clear that in the future companies like Lexmark cannot use the DMCA in conjunction with copyright law to create monopolies of manufactured goods for themselves just by tweaking the facts of this case: by, for example, creating a Toner Loading Program that is more complex and "creative" than the one here, or by cutting off other access to the Printer Engine Program.

The judges obviously understood exactly what Lexmark and other companies where trying to do and firmly putting a boot down. This judgement is so direct I hope the Supreme Court refuses any appeals.

New Supreme Court taking this might be good
Currently the only courts bound by this decision are in the 6th circuit. The Supreme Court could make it binding on all courts.

Cheers,
Ben
