DeCSS fight goes back to court

ZDNet: “The film industry and a hacker publication will head back into court Tuesday in
the DeCSS case, a legal dispute that could dictate whether it’s legal to publish
or link to certain materials online.

A panel of appellate judges will decide whether to uphold a lower court ruling
preventing online hacker magazine 2600 from linking to code that theoretically could
be used to crack DVD security. But legal experts say the case could have
wide-ranging ramifications for linking, publishing and copyright on the Internet.”
