DeCSS Arguments in CA Supreme Court Case
scubacuda writes "According to News.com, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer called DVD-cracking software DeCSS a tool for "breaking, entering and stealing" during a hearing before the California Supreme Court on Thursday. "The program DeCSS is a burglary tool," Lockyer told the judges, adding that the movie studios lose millions of dollars because of piracy over the Internet. (CopyLeft offers this "burglary tool" on a t-shirt)" If you've forgotten what this case is about, see EFF's page about it.
DeCSS is a burglary tool just like how I'm actually growing dildos in my vegetable garden.

That a tool that allows people to copy their DVD's for their own purposes is "a tool for burglary", yet a gun which allows people to kill other people is a "right"?
This makes me so angry I want to go shoot someone!
If you liked licking my balls, add me to your foes list!
No, the argument against "Vicious Rectal Colonizing" is what spawned the revision of personal property laws versus the common good.
That argument still gets around from time to time though.

It will be easy to motivate our fellow man; there is hardly anything people treasure more than not being annihilated.
