Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While computer code can be a form of speech, the court is unlikely to rule that it is completely protected by the First Amendment. Instead, the court may find that the First Amendment protects computer code to a lesser extent, as the government has a strong interest in protecting intellectual property rights and preventing piracy. Therefore, MI is likely to prevail in its suit against Owen for posting code that undermines the security of its DVD encryption.
