I was just pondering... Wouldn't all these steps taken to change the encoding of the DeCSS code constitute some for of encryption? Stemming from that statement wouldn't it then be illegal for the MPAA to try and bypass that encryption under the DMCA?
Anyways maybe in the future all pirates will be able to hide behind the barrier of encryption to protect their dealings no matter how trivial that encryption is.
I was reading through some of the comments and I was wondering how the Univerisies are able to discriminate on the basis of race?? I am from Australia where a request from a university or school to identify your race would never be allowed under anti-discrimination laws.
Hmmm... don't know about eveyrbody else, but I assumed that it was just a typo and that it should have said "discuss" rather than "dissus". The plurality of developers means it can't be disuss since 1 developer dissus, whereas many developers would diss.;)
