DVD-Crack: Die Jagd beginnt-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Websites unter Druck zu setzen, die den DVD-Crack DeCSS hosten. Unter dem Digital Millennium Copyright Act ist es illegal, den Kopierschutz von Programmen zu brechen. Höchste Zeit deshalb, dass auch ein quintessentieller Mirror online geht: http://www.quintessenz.at/q/index.html Einen der ersten europäischen Mirrors, inklusive einer Liste der etwa 50 zur Zeit bekannten anderen Mirrors, betreibt Tom Vogt, auf dessen Informationen zahlreiche q/depeschen der Vergangenheit basieren. http://www.lemuria.org/DeCSS/ -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- In a major test of a new copyright law, the Motion Picture Association of America is hunting down and eliminating from the Net a program that cracks the security on DVDs. The motion picture industry was rocked earlier this month when programmers discovered a way to remove anti-copying features from DVD versions of hundreds of copyrighted works. But the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which lobbies for the major U.S. studios' political and financial interests, appears to be having success in convincing Web sites to remove the utility. Called DeCSS, the program can crack the encryption code in the DVD Content Scrambling System, allowing people to make unauthorized copies of digital movies to play on their computers or television sets. The MPAA has sent cease and desist letters to numerous Web sites, citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which passed last October. The DMCA made it a crime to create, sell or distribute any technology that could be used to break copyright-protection devices. "The MPAA takes seriously any unauthorized compromises of encryption technology," said the association's spokesman, Rich Taylor, who declined to comment further on the issue. For now the MPAA is not going after people who actually use DeCSS to make illegal copies of DVDs because the law is not on its side--yet.
