First Amendment Case Against Restrictive Copyright Law Can Proceed, Says Judge

A federal judge has ruled that litigation can go forward to determine whether Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act violates the First Amendment as applied. EFF brought this litigation on behalf of security researcher Matt Green, technologist bunnie Huang, and bunnie's company Alphamax, in order to vindicate the right to speak, learn, and innovate despite this overly-broad and harmful law.

Originally passed to combat infringement, the sweeping language of Section 1201 allowed courts to interpret its provisions to leave out critical speech protections such as the fair use doctrine. This has interfered with educational uses of copyrighted works, accessibility, security research, remix art, and even your ability to repair your own car or tractor.

The ruling is a mixed bag. While the "as-applied" First Amendment claims will go forward, the court did not agree that rulemaking by the Librarian of Congress is subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act, even when the Librarian is performing an executive branch function rather than a congressional one. The court also did not agree that the Librarian's rulemaking is subject to the First Amendment scrutiny that applies when a government official is making determinations about what speech to permit. Finally, the court saw no need to adjudicate the claims that Section 1201 is overly broad, because it concluded that determining the constitutionality of the statute as applied to the plaintiffs will turn on the same issues as with other potential targets of the law.

The bottom line is that the case is going forward and we will continue the fight to help you understand and modify the devices in your life and remix the culture we all share.

I'm really getting a kick out of producing the "Weekly Tech News" with my bud, @gbryant.

It's short. It's tech news. It's... just goofy. Makes me smile.

Little piece of git rebase advice occurs to me

Say you're working on a feature that touches 3 modules, and you've written a bunch of commits during your work that all touch a mix of the affected modules in each commit. When it comes time to rebase, you want to get one commit per module. In git rebase -i, choose the "e" option for any commits affecting multiple modules, then git reset HEAD^ to undo that commit and update the working directory. Use git add -p to add only the hunks affecting module A, then commit it. Rinse & repeat for other modules, then git rebase --continue until you're done.

Then git rebase -i again, reorder the commits to group them by module, and squash/fixup to your heart's content.

Man kann auf neueren KaiOS Versionen leider keine Custom ROMs mehr installieren,weil die Recovery jetzt nur noch zugelassene Signaturen akzeptiert.Das ist doof 👎 Ich hab mich schon auf GerdaOS gefreut,aber ok,dann bleibe ich halt doch beim normalen KaiOS...

Sort of inspired by the results of a poll @fribbledom did regarding Free Software donations and a comment I made about an easy way to keep yourself on track with that, I started this simple project.

Der heutige Workshop zur Digitalisierung von Jugendarbeit, beim #DBJR, war interessant und konstruktiv. Wir konnten interessante Einblicke in die Themenbereiche Verbandsstrukturen und Jugendarbeit nehmen.

Die Themen Open Source und Datenschutz sind natürlich, als Begleitthemen, auch nicht unter den Tisch gefallen. Tolles Gesprächsklima. :blobthumbsup:

Im nächsten Logbuch gibt es ein wenig mehr dazu. Bis dahin, eine geruhsame Nacht! :anxde:
