The case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexmark_Int'l_v._Stat ic_Control_Components [wikipedia.org] brought before the U.S. Supreme Court has been handed down as a loss for DMCA encryption and hopefully a further loss for proprietary printer cartridge litigation itself.

Read thru the terse unanimous judgement here http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/12-873_ n75o.pdf [supremecourt.gov]

Any day Lexmark loses due to its monopolistic practices is a good one to me.
