by their logic, right clicking an image and clicking save is illegal.
Give it a few more years and it will probably be over there. I don't know whether it's an ongoing thing or what since I haven't kept up with it, but there is/was(?) a case of some Springer Verlag trying to say that an ad blocker violates copyright law, going after Eyeo/Adblocker Plus.
To be fair, Eyeo/ABP deserved everything they had coming at them. They not only blocked ads, but there was code found to replace Amazon affiliate links with an affiliate id from them. (German report here - look for the part about typoRules.js.)
Fair enough.
I mean, that was Getty Image's whole case against Google's "view image" button. And Getty won that legal battle, so clearly they have some legal ground to stand on, even though most people would think it's bullshit.
What logic do you mean?
Images are typically not encrypted with protection measures [in transit].
I don't think that qualifies as "protection" of copyrighted content before law?
Some YouTube videos are protected like that, others not. The lawsuit is about those being circumvented. It is NOT about SSL or circumventing SSL.
An equivalent would be a copyright protection on images. Not SSL.
Forgive me if I am lacking the correct term for it.
