I think you have to agree that they should be allowed to do this.
Clearly, if the very thing I'm trying to supress is used in evidence, I
should get the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong. Think of
pictures of you in the bath.

Of course, once its been demonstrated that we have every right to see
you in the bath, those pictures are public domain :-)

I'm intrigued to know why?

This is becoming picayune but:

I'm told that the court has now sealed Exhibits A and B of Hoy's 
declaration. These are the DeCSS notes and the CSS scramble
code. However, the sealing applies only to the paper versions
and will prevent hardcopying.

Denying access to online versions will require some other action.

I hope you're keeping only the total counts, not the detailed access logs.

Up to 4 PM EST we've had no notice that the file has been "sealed." 

There have been over 26,000 downloads and they are now going out at 
600 per hour.
