DeCSS' Continuing Saga

blankmange writes "Newsbytes is carrying a followup on the DeCSS and 2600's court cases: "The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the First Amendment Project today asked the California Supreme Court to uphold a lower court's decision to permit publication of the source code for DeCSS technology, which circumvents digital copy protection systems." Maybe it's not over yet..."

    This early post for Annabel Lee!

    It was many and many a year ago,
    In a kingdom by the sea,
    That a maiden there lived whom you may know
    By the name of
    ANNABEL LEE;
    And this maiden she lived with no other thought
    Than to love and be loved by me.
    I was a child and she was a child,
    In this kingdom by the sea;
    But we loved with a love that was more than love--
    I and my
    Annabel Lee;
    With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
    Coveted her and me.

    And this was the reason that, long ago,
    In this kingdom by the sea,
    A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
    My beautiful
    Annabel Lee;
    So that her highborn kinsman came
    And bore her away from me,
    To shut her up in a sepulchre
    In this kingdom by the sea.

    The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
    Went envying her and me--
    Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,
    In this kingdom by the sea)
    That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
    Chilling and killing my
    Annabel Lee.

    But our love it was stronger by far than the love
    Of those who were older than we--
    Of many far wiser than we--
    And neither the angels in heaven above,
    Nor the demons down under the sea,
    Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
    Of the beautiful
    Annabel Lee.

    For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
    Of the beautiful
    Annabel Lee;
    And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
    Of the beautiful
    Annabel Lee;
    And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
    Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
    In the sepulchre there by the sea,
    In her tomb by the sounding sea.

    And before anyone whines and tries to play the slavery card against the poster above, do about five minutes of research so you too can realize the origins Civil War had absolutely nothing to do with slavery.

    At best, the slaves were freed to whip up a righteous fervor (We are with God, therefore, we are righteous and cannot fail!) in the US troops.
