Well, good luck with that. The DVD CCA sued hium over DeCSS, but, they
dropped their suit in 2004. Turns out that their encryption was so weak,
a home computer could brute force it in 24 hours. I don't remember
exactly why the suit was dropped, but, I think it had something to do
with the inability of the DVD CCA to prove that he'd actually done
anything wrong.
