Supremes Grant Stay in Pavlovich DVD CCA Case

Posted by chrisd on from the rights-for-sale dept.

endall writes "Sandra Day O'Connor granted a stay last week for DVD Copy Control Association so that the court could gather more information. She requested filings by later this week. I'm guessing that this delays implimentation of the California Supreme court decision on the matter."

    I didn't know Sandra Day O'Connor was part of the Supremes. Are you sure you're not thinking of Diana Ross?

    From the article on Salon: "Lawyers for the association told the Supreme Court that the stay was needed to keep Pavlovich from reposting the decryption program on the Internet."

      Better yet:

      Add the words "under God" in a comment to the code. Then watch the furor if the court decides to ban its publication.

    Consumers' rights are pitted against industry copyright protection, with trillions of dollars at stake

    In truth, they're talking about billions of dollars. It's just that some of these dollars spin REALLY quickly, so they're equivalent to three or four times as many.
