CALIFORNIA'S HIGH COURT HEARS DECSS CASE
California's high court heard arguments yesterday in the DVD CCA v. Bunner
DeCSS case.  The court is considering whether a ban on the posting of DeCSS
code, which cracks the content-scrambling system designed to protect DVD
movies, violates free speech. A trial court initially granted an injunction
banning the posting of the code, but Bunner appealed, saying the injunction
violated his free speech rights. The Sixth District Court of Appeals agreed
with Bunner and reversed that injunction, so the DVD CCA appealed to the
California Supreme Court.
