Kaplan <BR> granted the MPAA's request for a preliminary injunction against three <BR> Web site hosts who had distributed the DVD decryption utility. <BR> <BR> The decision only restricts the defendants from offering the software <BR> until a formal trial is held, but the judge's wholesale rejection of <BR> defense arguments -- led by Electronic Frontier Foundation legal <BR> director Robin Gross -- offered a glimpse into the eventual outcome of <BR> the suit. <BR> <BR> "I don't think there's the slightest question that plaintiffs have a <BR> very good chance of success," Judge Kaplan said in issuing his <BR> decision. <BR> <BR> The suit has especially broad implications. The MPAA is suing under <BR> the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and the <BR> current case charts untested water. <BR> <BR> "If Judge Kaplan's reading of the DMCA holds, then it will become <BR> illegal to build open source products that can interoperate and/or <BR> compete with proprietary ones for displaying copyrighted content," EFF <BR> co-founder John Gilmore said in a statement on the Web site. <BR> <BR> The DMCA prohibits the distribution of software that circumvents <BR> copyright protection technology, but it provides exception in certain <BR> cases of software produced through reverse engineering. <BR> <BR> The EFF, which is providing counsel in this case as well as another <BR> federal suit filed in Connecticut and an ongoing trial in California, <BR> argues that DeCSS is protected under the reverse engineering clause. <BR> <BR> Because the issue of reverse engineering is central to the suit, the <BR> case is of special interest to the open source community. <BR> <BR> The defense also argues that DeCSS is expression protected under the <BR> First Amendment. "DeCSS code is just that: code," Allonn Levy argued <BR> for the defense. "Computer code may be difficult for most of us to <BR> read, but there are individuals who can read it." <BR> <BR> The judge scoffed at these arguments and others, frequently <BR> interrupting Gross and Levy and chiding them for a lack of <BR> preparation. On Tuesday, Judge Kaplan had denied a request by the EFF <BR> legal team for a postponement. <BR> <BR> The hearing was marked by some degree of confusion. Unable to attend <BR> the hearing in person, Gross and Levy participated via teleconference. <BR> Peter Katz, the New York based lawyer and also a defendant in the <BR> California state suit, represented the defense in person. <BR> <BR> Opting for a simple reading of the technology involved in DeCSS, Judge <BR> Kaplan denied the defense's request to deny the injunction on the <BR> basis that a greater understanding of technical issues be considered <BR> before rendering relief. <BR> <BR> "Now really, Ms. Gross, I think it's a mistake for you to assume <BR> you're talking to a moron," said the judge, who pronounced Linux with <BR> a long "i" (the correct pronunciation is LIH-nix), and required a <BR> short briefing on the concept of linking. <BR> (Rat附注: 呵呵, Linux的读音是个经典问题哦. ^_^) <BR> <BR> If the hearing offered a ray of hope for the defense, it was on the <BR> subject of linking. After rendering his decision, counsel for the <BR> plaintiff requested the injunction extend to sites that link to sites <BR> offering downloads of DeCSS. <BR> <BR> After brief consideration, the judge denied the request. <BR> <BR>=========End=========== <BR>-- <BR>|======================+========================+====================| <BR>| 以无法为有法 , | 拳本无法,有法也空; | 我爱GNU/Linux, | <BR>| 以无限为有限 | 一法不立,无法不容。| 因为我爱自由! | <BR>| | | | <BR>| 截拳道宗师-李小龙 | 意拳宗师-王芗斋 | 土人 Linuxrat | <BR>|======================+========================+====================| <BR> <BR>※ 来源:·BBS 水木清华站 smth.org·[FROM: 202.112.168.253] <BR><CENTER><H1>BBS水木清华站∶精华区</H1></CENTER></BODY></HTML>
