Re: [dvd-discuss] AVRA sues Warner Home Video

GOOD point! And the next time they bring suit that's a good thing to bring

ruling they throw TWI into the outback with a can of snake attractor.

                 If that were true then DeCSS should have fallen squarely
within the interoperability exception.
