Nothing says free speech like posting DVD-hacking code | |
|

A diverse group of computer scientists, journalists and librarians are asking a federal appeals court to overturn a ruling that prevents people from posting or linking to the code that can help crack DVD encryption. In a flurry of legal filings, groups ranging from the America Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to a coalition of hotshot programmers submitted amicus briefs siding with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the hacker publication 2600 in its case against the entertainment industry. The filings contain a range of legal arguments, but most focus on the idea that New York federal Judge Lewis Kaplan's ruling, which prohibits links to the DVD-cracking code DeCSS, is an unconstitutional restraint on free speech. For example, the programmers argue software code is free speech that should not be reined in, while the journalists say preventing them from linking violates the First Amendment and hinders "the basic functioning of the Web." | ||
