Copyright has nothing to do with banning technology. It is a set of rules around a particular kind of property rights.

There are things you can do with technology that are banned as a result of copyright protections, but the underlying technologies are not banned, only the particular use of them is.

I’m saying if the law was respected at all this technology would be banned. I don’t know that I prefer that outcome, but it is the truth.
