Does it matter? Either way, you'll end up in jail. The real question is, "Which one will keep you in jail the longest".

The MPAA is stupid. This program decrypts DVDs....well, if you know the key bytes. So in its current state once compiled it is useless unless you fill in a small blank. Of course, this means it is completely legal.

Enjoy! edit - that smiley face is not part of the code...just some syntax that fusetalk interpreted as a smiley face!

I hate totalitarian Authoritarians anyway.

Here is the worlds shortest css dvd decoder
a link to the story is HERE
a link to a very cool anti-css coding page is here

and of course here is the source code...


/* efdtt.c Author: Charles M. Hannum <root@ihack.net> */
/* */
/* Usage is: cat title-key scrambled.vob | efdtt >clear.vob */

#define K(i)(x^s[i+84])<<
unsigned char x[5],y,z,s[2048];main(n){for(read(0,x,5);read(0,s,n=2048);write(1
,s,n))if(s[y=s[13]%8+20]/16%4==1){int i=K(1)17^256+K(0)8,k=K(2)0,j=K(4)17^K(3)9
^k*2-k%8^8,a=0,b=0,c=26;for(s[y]-=16;--c;i/=2,j/=2)a=a*2^i&amp;1,b=b*2^j&amp;1;for(j=

&amp;i*2&amp;34)*6^z+c+~y;}}


Enjoy

While I never endorse theft, I also do not believe in content use restrictions. once you buy a cd or dvd movie, the music and the movie on the disc is yours to make a thousand copies or give to a friend or burn in a satanic ritual for all i care, you bought it, its yours! If the law says otherwise, disregard that law. Oh yeah, the same goes for software. Once you buy it, use it however you damn well see fit.

Actually aren't bomb making instructions covered under the 1st amendment?? I doubt if it is even a crime to post that on the net......

GL is that the new 7 line DeCSS code I'm guessing. I still like the idea I heard someone say. Write a virus, copyright it, it is now protected under the digital millenium act (i think that's what it's called). Now Norton and McAfee legally cannot reverse engineer the virus to to have their programs clean it, if they do you can sue them. I'm not saying do this, but it would really show the flaws in the act.

Oh yeah..I forgot the bomb making instructions.

Step 1: rent ryder truck
step 2-104 were censured by the MPAA (apparently tarantino is making a bomb too )
step 105: boom!

LIBERTYorDEATH,

Great find! That beats out the perl code I posted by about 30 bytes! What's the MPAA to do when the code is short enough to commit to memory? I can hear it now &quot;Excuse me sir but you must hand over your brain as it is now considered to be in conflict with the DMCA&quot;.

also, if anyone is interested, i believe 2600.com has posted everything that they're allowed to post about the court proceedings in their trial with the mpaa, interesting stuff

why would bomb making instructions be protected under the 1st amendment and decss code not?

jhu,

Because you need bombs to protect yourself against a tyrannical government (a la guns). You only need decss to protect yourself against a tyrannical corporation. That goes against everything the U.S. stands for.

And yes this was a joke.
