I really enjoyed reading the book "text processing with python" And one thing that struck me was that the guy writing it has a pretty solid liberal arts background.

So I think if I were you I would find some subject that interests you and to which computing techniques might be applied, learn what you need to be able to address that and then write a blog, a paper or even a book that describes your approach. Then use that to support your application for a STEM job. I am sure you will get PLENTY of feedback if you publish something online that captures peoples imaginations, it would be a great learning experience and make for a good portfolio to show a potential employer.

As a suggestion, why not consider how a graph database could be applied to some topic in literature or public policy or visual arts.

Other commenters have observed your big-O inefficiency here. I had the same initial approach in my script http://gnosis.cx/bin/find-duplicate-contents (that I've mentioned in another post), but changed it when I realized it took hundreds of times as long to run as the correct hash-and-sort approach.

The problem is that if you have many files of the same size, you need to do a pairwise comparison of every pair from among them. This multiplies the operations enormously in what I found to be typical cases on my filesystem. For example, if you have 50 files that all are *exactly* 1GB in size, you need to do "50 choose 2" comparisons, i.e. 1225 of them. If the files wind up differing in the first few bytes (few meaning even first few megabytes), that's still possibly cheaper than hashing the whole files. However, if genuine duplicates exist in many of those cases--which is more typical--you wind up having to read through the entire identical content many times.

In contrast, if when you find same-sized files you commit to making exactly one read of each of them (but indeed, the entirety of them), you can store an MD5 or other hash of the whole thing, and then just compare those short MD5 sums. In actual testing and refinement, I have found this to be a hell of a lot cheaper (as in tens or hundreds of times cheaper in my actual test cases). Of course, the actual answer depends on what files of what sizes you actually have, and it is easy to construct artificial cases in which my approach (I didn't invent it, of course) loses. But not in my real-life experience.

My home-rolled solution to exactly this problem is: http://gnosis.cx/bin/find-duplicate-contents.

This script is efficient algorithmically and has a variety of options to work incrementally and to optimize common cases. It's not excessively user-friendly, possibly, but the --help screen gives reasonable guidance. And the whole thing is short and readable Python code (which doesn't matter for speed, since the expensive steps like MD5 are callouts to fast C code in the standard library).

I guess it technically isn't re-writing, since they lifted the majority of the stack from BSD in the first place, but hey, did this wheel really need to be reinvented?

So I created a number of versions of my resume that "self-verify". For example, this one at uses Javascript to check itself. Or the one called resume.txt has the following (abridged):

--- RUN 'perl -x resume.txt' TO CHECK RESUME AUTHENTICITY --*--
DAVID MERTZ, Ph.D.
[...]
--*----------
#!/usr/bin/perl
open (ME,$0); read ME, $_, 9999; /--\*--.*--\*--/s;
if (5242 != length $&)
{print q/Some ne'er-do-well has altered this resume/,"\n" }
else {print q/This resume seems to be healthy and intact/,"\n" }
__END__
THIS RESUME DOES NOT WISH TO BE IN A PROPRIETARY FORMAT, DON'T ASK!

(it won't verify as abridged, of course... but you can get the full one easily enough).

Some of them start with a #! line so they are actually executable. Most of them use an actual cryptographic hash (MD5 or SHA) of the body of the resume (but not of the whole thing plus its own hash as the parent suggests; but is not feasible minus $20M code breaking machines). The Python one is nice looking (again abridged):

# RUN 'python resume.py' TO CHECK RESUME AUTHENTICITY
_="""___
DAVID MERTZ, Ph.D.
Gnosis Software, Inc.
[...]
_________"""
from md5 import *; from base64 import *
if encodestring(new(_).digest()) <> 'eNvjEie0HX1fsdw8xoH7Ww==\n':
print "Some ne'er-do-well has altered this resume"
else: print "This resume seems to be healthy and intact"
# THIS RESUME DOES NOT WISH TO BE IN A PROPRIETARY FORMAT, DON'T ASK!

Now obviously, a sufficiently savvy headhunter could change this, and attach new self-verification. But I think I can program better than any headhunter can... so the self-verification trick is also a self-exemplification of my programming skill.

I haven't updated my resume in a long time, actually... but when I do, a script (in REXX, actually) takes the raw text, and attaches the various programming language wrappers around the body... each in a manner that looks quite inconspicuous if you just want to read the text.

Scroll down until you get to the part about 'Bindings'. That should give you basically what you want, although its more verbose than just

with x = 2, y = 3:
x + y

Lots of other comments, as well as the story, have pointed to a number of good tutorials and introductions. I'd like to recommend also the one I wrote for IBM developerWorks. I believe my tutorial is a bit better for real beginners to FP than are most of the others out there.

Anyway, you can find it at IBM dW(free registration required) or at my own Gnosis Software site.

Actually, if anyone is interested in learning Python and doesn't mind reading a book on their computer, there's a bunch of free ebooks available on the Python Documentation page (as well as a comprehensive list of books that are only printed). I've read a few of them, most of them are pretty good, in particular "How to think like a Computer Scientist" is a very good text for a less experienced programmer and Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Python" is a nicely comprehensive coverage of Python (not unlike his "Thinking in Java" and "Thinking in C++" books).

Even if you do mind reading books on your computer screen, most of these books (actually I think all of them) are also available as physical printed books as well.

A group of computer scientist professors is creating . This is not the same as GNU's Free Software Internet Voting. Given the Diebold fiasco there's a greater need for these than for the software to discuss potential candidates.

The idea of EVM2003 is to create Free Software voting machine, and to implement machines that also produce voter-verifiable paper trails (i.e. visually readable printed ballots). We will do a number of security things right, where the commercial companies have done them wrong... they have aimed for "security through obscurity" or "just trust us." As well, part of our requirement is to have fully blind-accessible voting that maintains complete anonymity.

Anyway, I (David Mertz) have taken over as Developer Lead recently, and am trying to move the development of the demo along.

Feel free to contact me--the standard ballot system (in the demo version at least) is being done in wxPython; but conceivably we would choose other languages/technologies for bar-code reading, printing, blind-voting, etc. (my preference is to use Python though, for consistency and rapid development).

Flash forward a few years. Now I am a writer about computer programming. And mostly because of that transition, I absolutely cannot stand to write anything other than plain text. Well, almost plain text, I have my own little variant called "smart ASCII", which uses just a few of the conventions that email and Usenet often use: *bold*, -itals-, and so on.

In fact, I have written hundreds of articles, tutorials, and the like about programming (for well-known publishers like IBM, Intel, O'Reilly, etc.), all in plain text. My book Text Processing in Python is written the same way.

Well... once in a while I am compelled to use something awful like MS-Word--or something that exports to it, like AppleWorks or OpenOffice--but I hate doing that. It is tools that convert my smart ASCII into formats like HTML, XML, LaTeX, PDF, and so on. But those tools come at the end of the process. After I put the words down, then is the time to worry about niggly details like fonts, layouts, and so on... all in a way that is far more consistent than a wordprocessor is likely to produce. My book, for example, has been praised as particularly attractive typographically... I did all the preparation myself, by eschewing all the GUI nonsense that gets in the way during writing.

Anyway, I (David Mertz) have taken over as Developer Lead recently, and am trying to get the development of the demo rolling. Part of that effort is recruiting some more developers, and splitting the project into several only loosely connected parts. Feel free to contact me--the standard ballot system (in the demo version at least) is being done in wxPython; but conceivably we would choose other languages/technologies for bar-code reading, printing, blind-voting, etc. (my preference is to use Python though, for consistency and rapid development).

I tried posting a story about the EVM2003 project a couple weeks ago, but unfortunately it was rejected. I'll try again soon, I suppose. So this note is a little less complete (not all the background URLs and the like). The project comes out of several years of background work by some well known computer scientists, political scientists, lawyers, elections officials, and political activists. But the demo (to be written in Python, btw), is just starting development.

Anyway, the short story is that I am involved in a project to create an open source voting system, with the extra twist that the machines also produce printed ballots. That is, the electronic part makes selection more clear, and prevent overvotes and other errors, but after using the touchscreen (or mouse, or blind accomodation), voters can visually verify their ballot for accuracy before submitting it to the ballot box.

On taking a lightning-quick skimming of the text at gnosis I'm still don't quite get the point.

SNOBOL was a mind-opener for me, because it really had a radically different approach to text processing. And it was genuinely useful. I haven't used it recently enough to know how I would feel about it today.

Many languages now are more convenient for text processing than, say, C++ with STL or MFC. The traditional BASIC's at least recognize strings as good citizens and make it easy to do the fundamental operations. MUMPS improves on BASIC incrementally, as do PERL, Java, Javascript, etc., mostly to the degree that their standard libraries provide a useful suite of string functions. More and more languages have a Regex feature (e.g. REALBasic) and this is a really nice thing to have.

So, I just read the review, and, as I say, took a lightning-quick browse through the online text of the book, and neither of them bothers to tell me how Python fits in.

Both of them seem to assume from the beginning that I have already decided that Python is the language I want to use.

Is there anything about Python that renders it especially appropriate for text processing? With regard to text processing, is it in a different category altogether from Java/Javascript/PERL/MUMPS/REALbasic?

Or is it just a good language with string primitives and a decent string library?

is here, as a series of text files. This is official.

Heh, hehe, okay.

According to Bagley's site, we should all be using Ocaml anyway. Who knows, he may even be right...

In reference to the Bagley test, Java was more performant than Python, true. But Python won over Java on both memory and lines of code. Also, his tests, as all artificial benchmarks, are both accurate only for the point-in-time and are only accurate within the limits of the test conditions themselves. More recent versions of both Java and Python are faster. On top of that, special-purpose optimizations exist for both Java and Python if you really need that extra spurt of speed -- think Jikes or TowerJ for Java and Psyco for Python. More to the point, though, Java may be faster than Python, but it isn't faster by an order of magnitude. The difference in speed between them is not enough to worry about -- if you really need that much speed, you won't be programming in either Java *or* Python, you'll be coding in C and assembler. Your performance argument is irrelevant.

Your libraries argument is somewhat more compelling. However, you may not be aware that there are two major versions of Python, standard Python implemented in C and Jython, implemented in Java. Using Jython, you can write Python that has full access to all of Java's libraries.

On top of that, I'll make a very rough comparison between the various projects on Jakarta and extant Python libraries. I don't think I've seen anything like this, as Python has a poor record for collating their libraries and apps in one place, so the effort is worth it simply for educational purposes, if nothing else.

Disclaimer: I am not terribly familiar with most of these projects, and they have varying states of completeness and maturity. I merely aim to show that analogs of the various Jakarta projects do exist in the Python world. Please feel free to peruse them yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Jakarta Ant -- PyAnt , SCons

Alexandria -- I don't know of any comparable Python applications. However, the individual components of Alexandria (doc generation, CVS access, etc.) are available: check out HappyDoc , and various modules for use with the Zope application server, including CVSFile

Okay, now I'm going to lump together a bunch of Jakarta projects. Individual authors and users of these projects will inevitably scream, but my justification is that they are all web application servers of one sort or another. Their purposes are all the same. They have many differences in approach, philosophy, scope, and implementation, but at heart, they are all web application servers or web application server frameworks. Those projects are: Avalon, Jetspeed, Struts, Turbine, Velocity, Slide, and Tomcat itself. Oh, and I might as well throw James in here, too. Python web app servers and frameworks are equally numerous, and several are in advanced stages of maturity: again Zope, Twisted, Webware, Quixote, CherryPy, and SkunkWeb. There are more, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. Google is your friend.

Lucene has no real counterpart in Python. David Mertz has put together a text indexer and search program, available at his site, but it looks small compared to Lucene. There is also something called WePaSe, but there is no information on it aside from its freshmeat release announcement.

Gump also has no counterpart. Cactus has an equivalent in WebUnit and PyUnit. Log4J's Python copy is called, naturally, Log4Py.

ORO and Regexp provide regular expressions for Java. Python has regular expressions built in to the standard library.

OJB provides an object-relational bridge for Java, similar in concept to Sun's JDO specification. Python counterparts are Modeling , PyDO, which is a subproject of the above-mentioned SkunkWeb, and MiddleKit, a subproject of WebWare.

ECS, JMeter, and POI have no Python counterparts. BSF also has no counterpart, since it embeds a scripting language in compiled Java. Perhaps its "counterpart" is Jython. Likewise, BCEL has no counterpart, nor does Watchdog.

Taglibs has no direct counterpart. Instead, Python has Spyce, Cheetah, PSP, and probably close to a dozen other implementations of the ASP/JSP theme, each with their own library of tags. Lack of a standard is perhaps not a good thing, but the existence of bunches of competing implementations is not a bad thing. Perhaps the most direct counterpart would be Zope's built-in technologies, DTML and ZPT. ZPT has also been built out into a standalone version, SimpleTAL.

Jakarta Commons has too many small projects for me to want to research Python equivalents. If you are looking for something in particular, check the Vaults of Parnassus first.

As for Apache XML, Python has SOAPy and ZSI implementing SOAP, and DOM, SAX, and XML-RPC are built in to the standard library. 4Suite implements DOM, SAX, RDF, XSLT, XInclude, XPointer, XLink and XPath, and has an XML and RDF data repository and server built on top, which would make it very roughly equivalent to both Cocoon and Xindice. I don't know of any Python equivalents for Batik, FOP or XMLSecurity.

Python has relational database access through its DBAPI standard, with adaptors for just about every database. There are a number of object databases coded specifically for (and often in) Python, the most well known being ZODB, which was developed by Zope. There are adaptors for other object databases as well.

There are really two spaces where Java outstrips Python, and the second space is IMHO directly caused by the first: standardization, and J2EE. Python puts out a language implementation and a lot of very useful libraries, but does not have any standardization body like the JCP. The result is lots of fragmentation. Individual developers write their own libraries and applications that compete with each other while offering wildly differing APIs and programming approaches. There has been some push to organize, through the official Python SIGs, but their efforts, while noble, have not been massively effective. Only this month has an initial implementation of a Python library repository similar to CPAN been released. Kudos to Andrew Kuchling, who made it happen, but it is LONG overdue.

Regarding J2EE, the only viable competitor is Zope. Even then, Zope really doesn't address the same problem space. The shortfall here comes from a number of different factors: corporate buy-in, public perception, lack of an established problem-space solution, and lack of published standards. Zope is a great solution, and has been used by a number of high-profile companies, but its focus is different.

Well, I hope you find this comparison to be useful. *I* certainly found it enlightening.

I have recently completed a book for Addison-Wesley. Well, almost completed--it needs to make it through copyediting and indexing still, which will probably (unfortunately) mean several more months until it is printed.

One thing that I did--with permission of my publisher--is make the text of the book completely available during writing, and it will remain so into the future. Shameless plug, you can find it at http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/. I cannot say honestly that being allowed to provide it this way was a deciding issue in choosing a publisher; but it certainly does make me feel better about writing the book.

Admittedly, this is not quite the same thing as an OpenContent license. You are free to read the book at the URL listed, and print yourself a personal copy. But the book is under copyright, and you cannot reproduce and sell the text yourself. Still, I believe it is a step in the right direction... maybe my next book will manage to go a step farther.

Yours, David...

Here's the Publications List of XML Matter columns from IBM developerWorks.

• Create a parallel configuration system depository somewhere outside of /etc, like /conf. That depository should only contain system and meta-system level stuff.
• Keep application-specific configurations in the application directory.
• Get rid of the ages old /usr, /bin, etc, etc. Blatantly copy OS X. OS X has solved most of the metadata management issues already.
• Maintain a separate, read-only hierarchy where programs can still get their config files (/etc), libraries (/usr/lib, etc), etc.
• Have a system deamon that reads the new metadata repositories and creates the legacy ones for the legacy parts of the sytem.

Temporary restraining order DENIED!

Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the organization and support provided by a few of our fellow defendants we are still here! Another hearing is scheduled for January 14th.

We would like to point out to all of the mirror sites with things like "fuck the lawyers" on them that it is because of a generous group of lawyers that we are still here. These lawyers are working for free (or much less than they could get by going over to the Dark Side) and don't deserve this kind of abuse.

Here is the EFF's stance on this case.

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Current Mirrors Last updated: Wed, Jan 19, 12:13am EST
Numbers are only for the maintainer's convenience

We apologize for the length of time between updates. This list has gotten quite large and thus more difficult to maintain.

Much thanks to this site for listing mirrors of the mirror lists.

Mirrors since 28-Dec-99 added by me.
To my main DVD page (containing list of lists of mirrors) Visit Humpin! (No, it's not what you think!)

Temporary restraining order DENIED!

Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the organization and support provided by a few of our fellow defendants we are still here! Another hearing is scheduled for January 14th.

We would like to point out to all of the mirror sites with things like "fuck the lawyers" on them that it is because of a generous group of lawyers that we are still here. These lawyers are working for free (or much less than they could get by going over to the Dark Side) and don't deserve this kind of abuse.

Here is the EFF's stance on this case.
If you need a REAL reason to host these files, try reading this. Truth has never been more purely distilled.

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Current Mirrors Last updated: Fri, Dec 31, 8:18pm EST

Temporary restraining order DENIED!

Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the organization and support provided by a few of our fellow defendants we are still here! Another hearing is scheduled for January 14th.

We would like to point out to all of the mirror sites with things like "fuck the lawyers" on them that it is because of a generous group of lawyers that we are still here. These lawyers are working for free (or much less than they could get by going over to the Dark Side) and don't deserve this kind of abuse.

Here is the EFF's stance on this case.
If you need a REAL reason to host these files, try reading this. Truth has never been more purely distilled.

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Current Mirrors Last updated: Thu, Dec 30, 2:55am EST
Numbers are only for the maintainer's convenience

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Current Mirrors Last updated: Wed, Dec 29, 3:14pm EST
Numbers are only for the maintainer's convenience

Much thanks to this site for listing mirrors of the mirror lists.
