INTERNET LAW IN THE COURTS

摘要

Distribution of software license keys on the Internet may constitute trafficking in circumvention technology, which is prohibited under the Digital J Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).rnPlaintiff software licensor sued defendant for, among other things, violation of the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA found at 17 U.S.C. § 1201. Plaintiff alleged that defendant posted license keys on the Internet, which purportedly would enable plaintiff's software to be "installed on an unlimited basis."
