CA Supreme Court Saves LiViD, Pavlovich

joebeone writes "The California Supreme Court has suprisingly ruled that Matthew Pavlovich is not within their jurisdiction in the DVD-CCA's suit against his posting of DeCSS in relation to the development of the LiViD DVD player for open operating systems. What's surprising? It's surprising that they held that his posting of DeCSS was not actionable... (however the use of the program by users to circumvent CSS could be under the DMCA)."

This is one thing I am very proud of here in CA, the State Supreme court. We have a very liberal and open minded State Supreme court here. They usually side with the small guy and with individual rights over corporation rights. Too bad all their decisions usually get appealed to the US Supreme court and later overturned.
