| I guess I missed something even though this trial has been going on for some time. Although I am 100% against illegal copies, warez, etc., I do not understand why it is wrong for a guy to write code so he can watch DVDs on his Linux machine instead of buying a DVD player. If someone can make me a little wiser, I would appreciate it. |

| Good. The ruling says when you buy a disk you own it as your property.  |

Since the DeCSS code/program addressed in the trial is homegrown, there were no licensing fees paid, which is a sore spot for the MPAA/Entertainment Industry... all together now...  One thing to keep in mind is that this ruling was in Norway only. While it would be nice to believe that this precedent will influence future cases in other countries, I don't think we can count too heavily on that happening - especially on the MPAA's home turf. j.
