The “commercial or private financial gain” requirement is why the dmca does not apply to private personal use

I will need to find some way to circumvent the anti piracy protection where it periodically pings the developers servers

Abortion clinics here are already on top it as states possibly ban abortion travel and make women wear GPS ankle bracelets

There are a couple places in town here where my cellular Internet quits and they just happen to be near where abortion clinics are

So Poweramp, my mp3 player, stops because it can’t ping the server until I get further duwn the roaf

My volume booster app shuts off because it cannot serve me their ads

Hopefully scotus will tell the states they cannot do that and even one justice who voted to overueb roe thinks are going too far in banning abortion travel

Until that does happen I will have to put up with clinics jamming cellular data to prevent things like cell phones and ankle bracelets from working

The clinics are not breaking any laws in California by deploying such jammers to prevent datacfrim being sent back

Until either Congress or scotud tells the states to knock it off I will just have to live with cellular data jammed near abortion clinics as no laws are being broken in California
