at this time, not even that. the MPAA trial is in appeals, and anyways
it only affects 2600. anyone chickening out of using/distributing decss
does so on his or her own choice.

europe doesn't (yet) have a DMCA-like law. in other words: copying DVDs
is illegal, having decss is not. we don't jail people for posession of
chainsaws, either, even though chainsaws have been used for killings.

I'd be interested in that, too. does the school know the political
implications?
