Ban on DVD-Cracking Code Upheld



A News.com Report says “The decision for now upholds a controversial law known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and prevents Web site 2600 and its publisher, Eric Corley, from posting links to computer code known as DeCSS–a program that allows DVD movies to be decoded and played on personal computers.” This is a slap in the face of free speech and a threat to any website that links to anything.
