A New DeCSS

... Everything published by the MPAA or quoting the MPAA makes it entirely clear that they have no clue about anything online--except that there are a lot of evil hackers that are trying to steal DVDs so that they can pirate every DVD movie and fit them all on one floppy disk. ehhh... right. idiots.
I think those that make up the MPAA don't mind looking like idiots to the well-informed as long they can convince the average Duke boy that it's all about piracy. They're not idiots, they're clever swindlers.
One more question, could someone point me at the real DeCSS source code?
Hah! You've proved ol' Boss Hogg's original point!

1. It hurts legitimate searches for the code
2. Any scheme a legitimate searcher would use (e.g. knowing the file size) will be quickly mimicked. These MPAA people are not idiots, just assholes.
3. It kinda dilutes the whole 'civil disobedience' stance I think.
My favorite part of the article:
Start spreadin' the love, eh? And FUCK the MPAA
