(No, it's not what you think!)

Link Holocaust

Truly significant events have yet to occur in the DeCSS case, however something DID happen to this page -- it got updated! In addition to burying the deceased links we have mirrored the DeCSS Win32 source code.

Unfortunately it seems that someone is impersonating the MPAA and sending out phony "cease and desist" e-mail notices. We at humpin.org have not recieved one (our e-mail isn't very reliable) however you can tell that the letters are fake because they were not sent from "mpaa.org" and they were sent via e-mail. Now we know that e-mail is not a proper medium for sending any kind of official legal correspondence and you know this (because we just told you) but unfortunately there are a lot of people in the world who don't. So a lot of these people shut their DeCSS mirror sites down all because of some stupid spammer who bought a "Do It Yourself Cease and Desist" kit and thought it would be funny to impersonate the MPAA. What a loser.

Legal Wrangling Continues

In an effort to keep this page focused we have moved all of the "news items" to their own page. News will continue to be posted on the page you're reading now, but only when something truly significant happens.

For the latest news we suggest you visit OpenDVD.org.

Mirror this page!

Somebody asked us if they could mirror this page -- PLEASE DO! Be sure to report your mirror to this page.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.
