I think you're thinking of DeCSS <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeCSS>  
which was declared illegal because it was a DMCA violation, but since  
the source code is protected under free speech, I can wear a T-shirt  
with the code printed on it, or express it in any of a variety of  
methods <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/index.html>

See here, with the source code ASCII-arted into a DVD logo
