the itrace solution requires every tech which ever had configured a router to upgrade that router anyway,
Please point out where you got that idea !
The itrace solution it a tool to help tracking down the source of the attacks, and as such, only requires a few (~30%), routers along the route to have it installed. Heck, it's even enough that *one* router has it installed, as long as it's the *right one*
. The fact is that the irtace solution does not require everybody to install it to be helpful, and that's where it differs lightyears from currently proposed solutions (i.e. filtering at the originating site)

Earlier this year however, two European hackers discovered that Xing inadvertently exposed the elusive CSS encryption key in their latest DVD player. Within weeks the anonymous team released a small software program named (appropriately) DeCSS, which allowed anyone to access the contents of a DVD
They don't have a clue, do they ?
This whole thing is not about DeCSS , CSS has be cryptanalyzed to the death, but MPAA is going after DeCSS because if they can use the DMCA to ban distribution of curcumvention devices, then they have a better change of bannig this stuff
Basicly, with the link above, you can download sourcecode for programs that will retrieve ALL the 408 playerkeys on your DVD disk!!!
That's playerkeys. Keys that will work on all DVD disks. And you can do this even if you don't know a single key in advance. All this takes just about 15 minutes on a Celeron 550 MHz

If you don't want to play the DVDA's rules, don't. Make your format that isn't DVD. If it's better than DVD, and offers more features, then it will catch on, and it'll beat DVD -- remember VHS versus Betamax? VHS was more popular. It won.
How about his :
If you don't want to play the Microsoft's rules, don't. Make your OS that isn't Windows. If it's better than Windows, and offers more features, then it will catch on, and it'll beat Windows -- remember Windows versus Mac OS? Windows was more popular. It won.
Nobody will win DVD while it has as good as monopoly on all new titles. It has the studios support and nobody can introduce a new format without they're support.

The whole DeCSS/2600/Cryptome story is about providing DeCSS, that is, somebody is claiming that you can't distribute DeCSS, but simply owning a copy is not a part of the accusation. -- Why pay for drugs when you can get Linux for free ?
Will it be illegal to provide links to where people can gamble on the net ? Nope I don't think so.
And it won't be 10 minutes before the first non-blocked site will offer to proxy all traffic for www.letsgamble.com.
Here's how: www.letsgamble.com (hereafter just called LG) will pay joeschmuck (you and me) for putting up a specific proxying. All traffic between LG and the gamblers will be encrypted at LG's site. The traffic will pass thru the proxy sites encrypted, that way nobody can sniff or manipulate the connections.
As soon as the governament agency responsable for the censorshit will have sent the ISP's a new IP address to block, a new proxy service will pop up somewhere.
Information about where to find proxies to gamble, will then be provided by www.2600.com or www.eff.org

Case 'A': You can buy crack on the corner of 5th and Main.
Case 'B': To buy crack, call 555-12345 and ask for "Spartagus"

The big question then is this: With the licence gone, but surely not the author's copyright, how can anybody legally distribute the software ?
It looks like that if you don't have a licence at all, then you can't do squat with the software. And that includes any and all "violators".
