CALIFORNIA'S HIGH COURT HEARS DECSS CASE
California's high court heard arguments yesterday in
the DVD CCA v. Bunner DeCSS case. The court is
considering whether a ban on the posting of DeCSS
code, which cracks the content-scrambling system
designed to protect DVD movies, violates free speech.
A trial court initially granted an injunction banning
the posting of the code, but Bunner appealed, saying
the injunction violated his free speech rights. The
Sixth District Court of Appeals agreed with Bunner and
reversed that injunction, so the DVD CCA appealed to
the California Supreme Court.
