Funny, the article doesnt say how the pirates subverted the encryption in order to make copies.
Call me slow, if you like, but I don't get your point. Since when do *Audio* CD's use CSS encryption?
I think the lines that followed reveal the author's sarcasm:
Oh, you dont have to. Listening, Kaplan?
A. Melon is probably alluding to something Kaplan doesn't 'get': To copy a DVD you don't need DeCSS. Bits are bits.
Um, yeah, but this wasn't about DVD's, it was about CD's, so the "sarcasm" is totally misplaced, hence my "WTF? is A Melon smoking?" comment diguised as "Call me slow, but..." Now, if the kid in the dorm was pirating DVD's, yeah, that would be understandable. -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.
