Judges still don't understand copying
by Khoder bin Hakkin 29 Nov '01

http://cryptome.org/mpaa-v-2600-cad.htm Decryption in the case of CSS requires a set of "player keys" contained in compliant DVD players, as well as an understanding of the CSS encryption algorithm. Without the player keys and the algorithm, a DVD player cannot access the contents of a DVD. With the player keys and the algorithm, a DVD player can display the movie on a television or a computer screen, but does not give a viewer the ability to use the copy function of the computer to copy the movie or to manipulate the digital content of the DVD. -- JON O. NEWMAN, Circuit Judge. Hey Judge, here's a clue: the fact that a licensed DVD player knows a password to the content on a disk does NOT prohibit copying the medium. Here's another clue: All your hollywood are belong to us; we just need the bandwidth to swap them. If DeCSS were wiped off the earth, licensed players would still play swapped movies.

Photog arrested for shooting nuke plant

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAZ1FW2NUC.html Vermont Newspaper Photographer Is Taken Into Custody for Taking Pictures of Nuke Plant By Wilson RingAssociated Press Writer Published: Nov 29, 2001 MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A newspaper photographer was taken into custody by police under a 1917 Vermont treason law for taking pictures of a nuclear power plant. But a prosecutor said he will not press charges. Jason Henske of the Brattleboro Reformer was held by Vernon police for two hours Wednesday before being released along with his camera and the images. Windham County State's Attorney Dan Davis said Thursday that after reviewing the case, he decided not to prosecute. He would not elaborate. Vernon police did not immediately return calls for comment. "It makes you very angry. I think this was completely uncalled for," said Henske, 26. The paper said it would use the photos Friday for a story about security at the Vermont Yankee plant - a move the prosecutor said would be irresponsible. "The security at Vermont Yankee and some of the other power plants in the state, dams, and hydroelectric generating facilities have been a concern for law enforcement as potential targets for terrorists," Davis said. "I think police in certain situations are justified in trying to protect citizens from incidents which may occur at those facilities." The treason law was passed during the opening days of U.S. involvement in World War I. It was intended to protect railroads and other public facilities during wartime. The offense carries up to 10 years in prison.

Publicizing CDC officials' home phone nos, stalking
by Khoder bin Hakkin 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

poorly excerpted from http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-000095027nov29.story?coll=la%2Dheadlin… On Wednesday, San Francisco law enforcement officials agreed. Police arrested Michael Petrelis and ACT UP San Francisco spokesman David Pasquarelli on charges of criminal conspiracy, stalking and making terrorist threats against newspaper reporters and public health officials. The pair, who are allies, are accused of calling reporters and health officials at home repeatedly past midnight, making threats and leaving obscene sexual messages. Together, they are charged with 27 felonies and misdemeanors. Both men have acknowledged making or encouraging late-night calls, sometimes using foul language, but have denied making threats. They cite the need for a "new phase of activism" to combat what they call false public health studies and biased news articles that have scared the gay community and discouraged gay sex. "I did not make any death threats. I did not make any bomb threats," Petrelis said. "Was I using abusive language? Well, yeah." The men were held in lieu of $500,000 bail. Petrelis has acknowledged publicizing the home phone numbers of top officials at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. And, on posters and the ACT UP San Francisco Web site, Pasquarelli's group has superimposed swastikas and other Nazi insignia on a picture of a top San Francisco public health official, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, calling for his ouster.
