Judge Bars Posting DVD Descrambling Code
A federal judge in New York has barred three programmers from posting on their Internet sites a piece of software used to unscramble the movies stored on digital videodisks. Judge Louis Kaplan granted a request for a preliminary injunction filed by eight Hollywood studios who are trying to stop the proliferation of the unscrambling program. The New York case involves just three Web sites. A separate case in state court in California - one still under advisement - involves two dozen others. Source: Reuters
