| Security warning draws DMCA threat by w1ld at 12:53 am EDT, Jul 31, 2002 | |||
Hewlett Packard has found a new club to use to pound researchers who unearth flaws in the company's software: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Invoking both the controversial 1998 DMCA and computer crime laws, HP has threatened to sue a team of researchers who publicized a vulnerability in the company's Tru64 Unix operating system. In a letter sent on Monday, an HP vice president warned SnoSoft, a loosely organized research collective, that it "could be fined up to $500,000 and imprisoned for up to five years" for its role in publishing information on a bug that lets an intruder take over a Tru64 Unix system. | |||

If this solidifies into a court battle it could present the first amendment question that the Felton case nearly presented. However, I think there are a number of technicalities here that will prevent this case from making it into a courtroom. | |||
