Unfortunately, the 2600 magazine case over the DeCSS code has been lost once in local court (circuit or district, I think) and lost again on two appeals in higher courts. The 2600 folks aren't taking it to the Supremes, but the lower courts appear to have just as little competence as Congress. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
