That occurred to me as I was posting it, although it could actually make it
a violation of the DMCA to read our archive anywhere inside the borders of
the US... :)

Anyway, the guy who originally posted the perl code to the web is archiving
as many copies of DeCSS as he can get his hands on, going as far as the rock
song which uses the code as the lyrics:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/

He's already been approached by the MPAA's lawyers
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/mpaa-00-02-08.html), and his basic
response was "do ya feel lucky? well? do ya?"
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/mpaa-reply-feb2001.html) They went
away, tails between their ratty little legs...
