Appeals Court Rejects DMCA Constitutional ChallengeTechdirt

Court Rejects DMCA Constitutional Challenge, Because Apparently Fair Use Means Nothing Good Will Ever Be Published.
Ruling will limit our rights to fair use and free expression in favor of Hollywood ’s ability to lock stuff down with digital locks.
The DC Circuit appeals court has done exactly that, in a case that wasn’t suggesting that copyright should go away.
The DC Circuit says that fair use isn’t really about the First Amendment .
The panel gets a lot of stuff backwards, says David Gergen .
He says the court drifts into copyright maximalist tropes, including the idea that copying is a form of theft.
Gergen: Anticircumvention is just getting around a digital barrier which is not equivalent to “theft”.
Everything I write here is released into the public domain, yet this court seems to think that’s impossible.
The fact that some copyright-covered works are licensed is wholly unrelated to the actual question at play here.
The upshot of this ruling is that fair use is diminished and put at risk.
