DMCA 2, Freedom 0
Politech is featuring this press release from EFF stating Judge Garrett Brown of the Federal District Court in Trenton, New Jersey, threw out the EFF-Felten case challenging the DMCA after less than 25 minutes of debate. DoJ and RIAA both made motions to dismiss the case, which the court granted. We'll have a story about what occurred at the hearing tomorrow. EFF plans to appeal. In addition, 2600 is reporting that they've lost their Appeal in the 2nd Circuit court.
I hope.
someone moderator slap this fuck-head down. Not keep up with the issue much? these aren't about bootlegging.
As long as that source exists, DeCSS will exist. There is absolutely no way that the MPAA will be able to remove it from every machine. It's also unlikely that they'll change the CSS standard (old players != compatible with the new standard).
And what was that quote about encryption? "If encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will have encryption?"

I am sure you have a great point, but it is obscured by your clear lack of grammatical skills. I must warn you: even though you may think that being an engineer means that you don't need to communicate with other people, this is NOT the case.
No one has perfect grammar, but to be able to make an eloquent point in writing is crucial, regardless of your job title. You lose your audience if your prose is rife with spelling mistakes and poorly constructed sentences. On the other hand, if you can easily sum up the benefits of your idea, you can win supporters -- even if that idea is as simple as going forward with a project you have at work. Never forget that those pointy-haired bosses about whom you like to joke are the ones who will be reading resumes and project proposals of yours. They could reject them based not on content, but on presentation. It makes a difference.
I urge you to take a writing skills class before you graduate. Not only will it help you get a job by writing a good resume, but it will help you keep that job by being able to communicate with others effectively.
