Seth Schoen Reveals Himself Author of DeCSS Haiku

Posted by timothy on from the fewer-syllables-would-not-communicate-as-magnificently dept.

TrinSF writes "The anonymous author of the DeCSS Haiku has written an article revealing his identity and explaining some of the background. The haiku has been featured in the Gallery of CSS Descramblers and attained some notoriety when it was published in 2001. I'm glad to have played a small role in the article; my comment on /. is included in the text." Apologies to Seth for dropping a "c" from his surname.
