Calif. Supreme Court to Hear DVD-Cracking Case Appeal

San Francisco -- The California Supreme Court this week agreed to hear an
appeal of a case involving a man who published computer code that can
break the security technology on DVD discs. The DVD Copy Control
Association (DVDCCA) sued Andrew Bunner for publishing DeCSS, a code that
can break its DVD encryption technology. The DVDCCA claimed Bunner was
leaking trade secrets and not simply informing Linux users how they could
play DVDs on their computers, another function of the code. An earlier
ruling found that an injunction against Bunner's publishing of the code
violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
