The DMCA Gets Around... CNet.com has an article about the newest attempt to expand the scope of the DMCA. It seems that Lexmark is asserting claims under the act against Static Control Components, which is one of the many companies involved in the toner cartridge remanufacturing industry. According to the lawsuit, Static Control's Smartek chips unlawfully tricks the printer into accepting an aftermarket cartridge by circumventing "the technological measure that controls access to the Toner Loading Program and the Printer Engine Program." Does the DMCA signal the end of the Sony v. Connectix doctrine?
