Supreme Court to Take Up DeCSS Case
geekee writes "CNET has posted an article claiming the US Supreme Court will take up a 1999 case involving individuals posting DeCSS on web sites based in the US. In November, the California Supreme Court had ruled that Matthew Pavlovitch could not be sued in CA since he's not a CA resident 'with no substantial contact with California'. The injunction placed before the start of the CA trial will remain in effect. The case is essentially about juristiction when attempting to prosecute a number of defendants simultaneously in order to save on legal fees."
Am I the only one that hates the word "Bourgeois"? It just sounds dumb.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.

Your remote keyless lock doesn't do you any good when I take a rock and smash your window in.
No security measure is failsafe. Obviously the lesson to be learned here is "don't try".

Still off topic.
Working part time as a repo man, slim jims still get you into cars. There's a few keys with transponders that are a pain in the ass, but that's what the repo truck is for.
Working as a repo man is fun -- which is why I do it. A repo guy I work with has a masters from Yale.
My area is Vacaville, Valejo, and Richmond. If you're a deadbeat and you live there, I'll be after your car tonight.
