In all the Napster hysteria the DeCSS trial is getting overlooked. I guess it's a little more technical, so it's harder to report on. I won't even try, but I had to post this little exchange from the trial that was quoted on techdirt.Q = Mr. Garbus, attorney of 2600.com
A = Ms. Reider, Chief Operations Anti-Piracy, MPAA, witness of plaintiffs
"Q. How did you know to go to the LiViD website, download the material you downloaded in
October and November?
A. I'm an investigator. I followed a trail there.
Q. Tell me what the trail was.
A. I read about it on Slashdot." What do you mean "get back to work Jim"? - I'm not surfing; I'm investigating.
