Been watching this thread with interest for some time. Had to go back and look at the 'bio' BrokenCodes posted a few weeks back.
I've been an embedded developer since forever ago, making some unsavory files for some foreign folk to make their wares easier to sell to US importers. My history is one of proving the impossible possible, including placing a full emulation of a smartcard in a Set Top Box with less computational power than the original smartcard itself, and having it work flawlessly (So flawlessly that the owners of that smartcard's innards have seen fit to sue me.)
Now with nothing but time on my hands, I have decided to involve my time in the improvement of software I've been using since 2003.
And you think you've got time on your hands now... If this is your first DMCA 1201 charge you face 5 years. Considering the circumstances you can assume they will.
