DVD CCA Drops Case; DeCSS Not a Trade Secret

Posted by jamie on from the put-a-t-shirt-on dept.

jon787 writes "EFF is reporting that the DVD CCA is dismissing its case against Andrew Bunner. He was being prosecuted under California's trade secret laws for redistributing DeCSS. This means that the DVD CCA has finally conceded that CSS is no longer a secret, something the rest of us have known for a few years now."

  1. THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING -- BREATH MANUALLY by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING

    Yes that's right, THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING. Why you might ask? Well it's simple!

    Your brain usually takes care of breathing FOR you, but whenever you remember this, YOU MUST MANUALLY BREATH! If you don't you will DIE.

    There are also MANY variations of this. For example, think about:

    1. BLINKING!

    1. SWALLOWING SALIVA!

    1. HOW YOUR FEET FEEL IN YOUR SOCKS!



    In conclusion, the THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING troll is simply unbeatable. These 4 words can be thrown randomly into article text trolls, into sigs, into anything, and once seen, WILL FORCE THE VICTIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIS BREATHING MANUALLY! This goes far beyond the simple annoying or insulting trolls of yesteryear.

    In fact, by EVEN RESPONDING to this troll, you are proving that IT HAS CLAIMED ANOTHER VICTIM -- YOU!
