Sounds like a troll to me.  The DMCA only applies to the companies who
purchased it (ie, the media industry), in cases where you find a security
hole in a content-protection system.

If the DMCA applied to security flaws in UNIX-based operating systems, a
number of my friends would be in jail right now, rather than being paid
large sums of money by companies and universities.
