4. Neither 1 nor 2 are true in the strict sense of the word, but wer'e 
not sure that safedisk's manufacturer will think the same. So the code 
still cannot go in because we are afraid of being sued.

*sigh*

Like I said, I'm more worried about the cases that are NOT DMCA 
violations, but people still don't do them for fear of the DMCA (because 
it "sounds like").
