So I'm working on a conference talk in which I think it makes sense to
mention jury duty, and I thought I'd remind people of the jury
nullification of the DMCA that was the final result of the Elcomsoft
("Free Dmitry") case.

Anyone got a good example of a DMCA criminal case since then with _no_
allegation of infringement? Like, just anticircumvention? It seems like
that jury has made prosecutors cautious about "felony contempt of
business model" cases.
(why I'm thinking about jury duty lately:
