First: There seems to be an assumption that the intent of DeCSS is to copy DVDs to illegally redistribute them. That would be like saying that if one buys a gun they plan on killing somebody with it.

How many people would take the time to figure out how to use it? Can the DMCA attorney figure out how to use it?
