Do you have one of these? Do you use it? I want one but I’m afraid it’s going to end up another plastic brick in a drawer.

Remember that one of the few positives the DMCA included was exceptions for interoperability. Also, these pieces of hardware are generally analyzed and reimplemented rather than copied - which steps outside of patents in general, as far as I know (IANAL). Many ship with roms and games included, though, which is generally not allowed in most countries.
This process is known as Clean room design if anyone wants to do more reading about this
Yeah I mean fuck the DMCA in general but I can’t imagine the adhoc fuckery that would have replaced it.
