gollark: Huh, apparently there's a section on boat hull designs because of course.
gollark: > It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.according to the Wikipedia article.
gollark: And that being a problem is caused by DMCA section 1201.
gollark: They don't seem to be going after it because of piracy (except possibly due to the poor examples in the README) but because it could maybe be used to violate copyright, and that being illegal is a DMCA issue.
