Judge Harrington ruled today in the case brought by Mattel over the cphack program that decrypts Cyberpatrol's poorly-encrypted blacklist: http://www.politechbot.com/cyberpatrol/final-injunction.html He seems to be inviting Mattel to file contempt of court charges against cphack mirror sites: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,35244,00.html Some mirror sites have shut down as a result. But although Mattel can still argue its original claim (reverse engineering bad, etc.) it may not have been able to acquire exclusive copyright in the cphack utility since it was released under the GPL: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,35226,00.html http://www.politechbot.com/cyberpatrol/cphack-gpl.txt -Declan (who was in Boston for the hearing yesterday)
