Arguments Heard in Diebold Case
EFF reports “The Hon. Jeremy Fogel indicated he intends to issue a ruling within the next two months on whether Diebold will face the consequences of abusing copyright law.” Maybe it’s just wishful thinking that this could go in our favor. But even getting this far feels like a win. Here’s why:
“The plaintiffs liken themselves to modern Galileos persecuted by authorities. I fear that a more apt analogy would be to modern day Don Quixotes feeling threatened by windmills which they perceive as giants. There is no real controversy here.”
That’s from the judge at the final hearing for Felten v. SDMI. He must have felt very clever. I doubt security researchers felt any safer.
