What?  They printed DVD copy protection circumvention in Wired?  I'm
surprised, as I think that's against the DMCA.  Isn't this kind of thing is
exactly what got 2600 in trouble?  As I recall, they printed code which
allowed someone to view DVDs in Linux, which by necessity circumvented the
copy-protection (i.e., the encoding)?

Interesting; I may have to pick up Wired...

(Great story about Lotus 1-2-3, BTW...)

BTW: there is a Perl script, only 7 lines of code, that hacks DVD video copy
protection in this month's Wired magazine.
