I'm using rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) in one of our projects and was notified there was a DMCA issued from Adobe. What is the latest news on this front? I'm using rtmpdump v1.9. Am I in compliance? I don't believe we even use the questionable encrypted code RTMPE.

If you don't use rtmpe then you could switch over to flvstreamer

Within the United States of America, but not in Europe or elsewhere, software which contains measures for circumventing copy-protection code may be in breach of the U.S. Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA).

It is considered that only software which removes encryption from an RTMP stream (i.e. which unencrypts an RTMPE stream) is affected by that Act, and only if that software is used in, or hosted on a server within, the United States.
