A new article over on Luminous Landscape presents a legal view on the recent issue of RAW file encryption.

“In this exclusive article one of Canada’s leading competition law lawyers, Andrew J. Roman, takes a look at issues such as Tied Selling, Refusal to Deal, and Abuse of Dominant Position. While these observations pertain to Canadian law in these matters, Mr. Roman makes it clear that most countries have similar laws, and so these practices may well be found to be contrary to laws and regulations in other countries as well. And, unlike much of the posturing and opinions that appear in web commentaries, these are from an experienced litigator who has presented cases to the Supreme Court of Canada. Camera makers would be advised to take his observations with greater seriousness than they have thus far shown to the concerns of their customers.”
