Thank you to Mr. Green and the EFF for putting together this case! Striking down Provision 1201 of the DMCA would be beneficial to all the security researchers who are trying to help make the world's software and technology safer for those using it.<p>We all need to work towards allowing security researchers to be able to responsibly do their jobs without fear of being sued or thrown in jail. Section 1201 of the DMCA (and of course the CFAA) are used by negligent companies against security researchers when they uncover flaws in products. These chilling effects on security research affect us all.<p>EFF's Press Release: <a href="https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-lawsuit-takes-dmca-section-1201-research-and-technology-restrictions-violate" rel="nofollow">https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-lawsuit-takes-dmca-se...</a>
