DeCSS Trade Secret Case Comes to an End - Again

Posted by michael on from the fat-lady-now-singing dept.

Andrew Bunner writes "We asked the courts to rule on our appeal of the DeCSS preliminary injunction (even though the DVD CCA dropped the case) and... we won! No more preliminary injunction. Here's the official ruling (pdf)." This is the last gasp of this case, which we've been following for some years now. This ruling goes into some depth analyzing the trade secret claim, gets the ruling "right", and should be helpful in future cases on similar topics.

    Dear mods,

    He wanted to know how it could get any more public than being distributed on the internet.

    Therefore the suggestion of tattooing it on his mothers posterior, which is implied to receive a great deal more traffic is actually not offtopic.
