[mythtv-users] Who needs to worry about copyright? CoreAVC forLinux

<DIV>For all the concerns over hard-nosed stances over integrating
technologies into MythTV, this comes across the news today:</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN> " In the end the counsels advise on what we
were to do was out of scope (including copyright) when we looked at all the
great feedback everyone has provided us. The DMCA does allow for reverese
engineering for compatibilty purposes and hence in the end no matter what
the 'other points' are the DMCA takedown request was wrongly sent.<BR>Alan
has been great about this and we are now working with him now on making his
new version compatible with CoreAVC
v1.7."</SPAN></DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>I dont get it. they aren't using any proprietary code but
they are still infringing on the DMCA for trying to reverse engineer
it. BS! This is pry a plot from Blu Ray Disc Association to
try to control next gen movies by strong arming groups like this....truely a
shame, o well now it will just take extra time but it will happen.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> What I understand is that
their "counsel" told them to claim infringement under the DMCA or risk weakening
their claim of ownership of the code and/or copyrighted material .They now
see this is wrong. Hence the line </FONT></DIV>

face=Arial size=2> Since they realized their mistake they are
now assisting the CoreAVC forLinux developer bring his code up to date with
their newest release. At least thats what I got out of it. But if I were perfect
I wouldn't need to be on any mailing lists and multi core processors
would grow on trees.</FONT></FONT></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
