Abstract

Technologies, laws, and policies developed in recent years make it impractical and even illegal to use media in ways that have been the right of private citizens, the press, and academics for more than 200 years. Copyright laws, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed by the US Congress in 1998, have imperiled the professional activities of computer scientists who merely wish to publish articles that analyze technical protection measures and countermeasures for digital media copyright.
