Jon Johansen To Be Retried On Piracy Charges

Posted by timothy on from the buccaneer-sorties dept.

cecil36 writes "Yahoo has the scoop on 'DVD Jon's' latest trial regarding DeCSS being used as a piracy tool. The article claims that Hollywood is losing $3 billion a year due to piracy *yawn*, but Johansen's lawyer believes the acquittal from the previous trial may be enough for him to win the case. The case is set to go again on December 2nd this year. What are the prospects of Johansen winning a second time?"

    Let's all put DeCSS on BitTorrent and every f*cking P2P network on the planet.
    SPAMmail DeCSS to everyone you can think of.
    Distribute every copy protection defeating software you can find to every corner of the planet.
    If they want to play this crap, let's just destroy their little empire and pee in their lemonade...
