News.com Links to DeCSS Program

Not source but compiled Windows version called DeCSS.exe. News.com know that 2600 lost their fight for linking to DeCSS so I wonder why they are doing this. Trying to make a point? Civil disobedience? An honest mistake?" Update: 10/08 02:51 GMT by T : An anonymous reader writes "In the time between when I read the first and second referenced articles, the links were updated to point the DeCSS gallery rather than DeCSS.exe"

Buying Japanese music help out the RIAA? I wouldn't think so, but these guys are good at what they do :\ btw, I don't mean like American music exported to Japan and then imported back here, I mean Japanese published music (the music store around here who will do special orders always has a hard time of getting what I'm saying)
