DeCSS case dropped

A long battle against an individual hosting the DeCSS code and other web sites that had carried the DeCSS code was dropped today. Even though a court ruling against 2600 several years ago found it illegal for websites to carry the code the DVD copy control association has decided to move on.

Ziff Davis did make a mistake in their article as Andrew Bunner was not the author nor the programmer of the DeCSS code. [ZDNet]

Wow - can't believe this case was still going on. I knew the guy from CT that was involved in this junk and it was a load of crap. :(
