DMCA Means You Can’t Delete Files On Your PC?

John Stottlemire found a way to print duplicate coupons from Coupons.com by deleting some files and registry entires on his PC. Now he’s being sued for a DMCA violation. He says, All I did was erase files or registry keys. Says a lawyer: [The DMCA] may cover this. I think it does give companies a lot of leverage and a lot of power. So now the copyright cartels are saying that not only can we not copy things on our computers, but we can’t delete things on our computers? — Slashdot
