Why, then, did you go ahead with publication?

I believe publishing is important for the advancement of the field. If noone publishes, how will we learn from our mistakes? How will people learn of the risks? Fortunately, we are in a privileged position. The university has been supportive of our work, which has made it easier to publish on a limited basis despite the risks. However, if I knew when we started this project what I know now, I would not have initiated this research: I would have spent my time on some other important problem without the legal overhead and risks. In the future, you can bet that I won't be working on copy protection again, not if the situation stays like this.
