Some gratuitous misquoting going on, though - I shall have to be more
careful:
JTJM said "... stepping up its actions against computer crackers", and
completed the sentence with "which [action against crackers] is not
unreasonable - however, the DMCA's prohibition on the discussion of the
flaws in copy protection mechanisms is [unreasonable, a threat to
cryptographic research, etc]".
Computer crackers were only mentioned because he prompted their
discussion.
Ho, hum...
