Posted by michael on from the once-more,-with-emphasis dept.

An anonymous reader sent in a link to a presentation given by Tom Vogt at HAL 2001. He reviews the whole CSS/DeCSS mess from the beginning, which makes a it a nice backgrounder for people who are wondering what the Sklyarov, 2600 and other cases are all about.

    Attention! Attention!

    Today we have been informed that there is a Troll at large. We have information that indicates he may be impersonating a legitimate /. editor known by the name of Michael Simms.

    Diregard all content posted by such an individual and report any possible trollings to the proper authorities. We would like to thank all of you in advance for your help in putting an end to this scourge.

    Notice: Please keep an eye out for CmdrTaco and the elusive JonKatz who are also still at large and may be coordinating their efforts with those of "Mr. Simms".

      This is clearly a troll. Everyone knows that Michael Simms is NOT a legitimate slashdot editor. Please do not feed the troll.

    Anyone know if they're gonna release the series on DVD? That's one boxed set I'm gonna buy no matter how much I hate MPAA and WarnerBros/TNT.
