copy protection for the weak-spermed

[rone]

I recently heard that Jon "DeCSS" Johansen circumvented iTunes' anti-copying program (in what i find a fairly obvious manner). But the story's from around Thanksgiving. How is it that i didn't hear about this until this week? All of you nerds on my friends list have failed me.

I didn't mention it here because I wrote it up for Rocknerd (http://rocknerd.org/), which is the more appropriate venue.

(And, well, the first cut at it wasn't so interesting -- what he's done now with VLC is entirely different and much more interesting.)

Ahh, it's the VLC thing i just heard about, then. That's pretty sweet.
