Depends what you mean by 'talking about it'. What is happening now?
No. Start discussing the mods to the firmware or how to get jtag access
to that gadget to allow modding, that sort of detail and it gets messy
pretty quick. Remember way back to the DVD Jon and the DVD decrypt code
was illegal to even link to. It took courts a long time to sort
through, cost lots of folks real money. Then somebody started selling
t-shirts with the code on it and made it a 1st Amendment problem even
slow witted judges could understand and some of the more insane
crackdown stopped. Still can't find libdecss on a U.S. based server
though.... but we all have a copy and our door doesn't get kicked in by
storm troopers. The war ain't over though, just a lull in the fighting.
