Major printer company Lexmark has lost a case in a US court in which it
tried to deploy the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) to prevent other
companies making cartridges that work with its printers. A lower court had
imposed an injunction preventing the sale of Static Control Component chips
which would allow any cartridge to work with Lexmark printers. But that
decision was toppled by the Sixth Circuit Court today.

With that sort of attitude to the paying customers, the moral of the story
would appear to be:

"Never buy a Lexmark printer."

Never have - and now I never will ....
