What logic do you mean?
Images are typically not encrypted with protection measures [in transit].
What are you talking about? 95% of the web uses SSL. 100% of the top-100 sites use SSL.
Just about every single image, video, and line of text you've ever seen online was encrypted in transit.
I don't think that qualifies as "protection" of copyrighted content before law?
Some YouTube videos are protected like that, others not. The lawsuit is about those being circumvented. It is NOT about SSL or circumventing SSL.
An equivalent would be a copyright protection on images. Not SSL.
Forgive me if I am lacking the correct term for it.
I don't care about the intent of the encryption. I outright reject any argument that criminalizes the use of decryption.
