I certainly hope that DeCSS will now be used by as many people to pirate as many dvd movies as possible to show the movie industry what happens
Um. I think the industry will only consider this justification for their actions. By doing this you play into their hands, and nobody (in this community, at least) wins. The MPAA will only point the finger at us and do something nasty. A more productive response would be to mirror the DeCSS code, or engage the MPAA through regular means. Piracy would only bring you down to their level.
