[dvd-discuss] DVD Jon



I notice that the "DVD Jon" story gets front page coverage on the Herald
Tribune today. Seems that the paper swallows all the Hollywood hype about
how CSS is vital for "preventing piracy" and other such crap, and how the
*content* of a DVD (that is your property) somehow is still the property of
Hollywood.

Someone needs to put them straight on that.

Their report of the Norwegian court's verdict does seem to agree with what
I read on Aftenposten's site though.
