Supreme Court to Take Up DeCSS Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday January 3, 2003 @01:06AM from the movin-on-up dept.

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."

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".
