Circumvent
Dictionary def.  Text is: Circumvent is the process of reverse engineering or decompiling copyrighted work or any work that has the intention of getting around control measures put in place. RJFJR 19:14, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dict def, and a bad one at that. Josh Cherry 19:57, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Argh, you'd think people could at least get it right when they put in dicdefs. JRM 20:17, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
 * Update. This absurdity seems to have been spawned from Analog hole. We have copy prevention, which the article links to. It should not have linked to circumvent. I've removed the link. JRM 20:25, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
 * Update to the update. We have circumvention, which is eerily similar (and it links to anti-circumvention... My head hurts!) I've taken the liberty of redirecting circumvention to copy prevention; there may be something to say for separating these articles, but their current state doesn't warrant it.

 * Delete. --Neigel von Teighen 20:26, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If it was a real dicdef then it would be a move to wiktionary, but it's someone's anti-copyright slang that is not in general use. Dbiv 20:39, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is an example of circumvention, nothing more. Courtland 2005-01-31
