Now, are those of us in the US to be considered
criminals because we collect, build and hack all sorts of computer and
electronics equipment as a harmless hobby (or is the knowledge and
ability to do this now considered dangerous by our elected idiots,
since they obviously lack the ability to think intelligently about
anything?)?
Well, given that the DCMA is a standing U.S. federal law, you can
probably answer that question yourself. But basically, the Sears
repairman was right; didn't you know that it's a federal crime to
try to understand those systems you're collecting?
