   Nop -- it only addresses the extremely narrow situation that the Sony 
Rootkit represented.   This exception suggested that the research to 
expose Sony's illegal activities were themselves being considered 
illegal by the DMCA.

   Censorware isn't normally associated in any way with sound recordings 
or compact disc's as a medium.
