never really knew much about until now - I am impressed.

My advice to him though would be to stay out the states - with the internet he doesn't need to be here and laws will just bring him down.

My favorite part

"To others, he's a menace. His programs "spawned a whole new industry" of downloading pirated movies, says Andy Setos, president of engineering for News Corp.'s Fox Group. "Our profitability has been hurt." He also says Mr. Johansen's acquittals "caused people to begin to believe that it was OK to ignore" DVD copyrights."

riiiiight - thier profitability has been hurt - give me a fricken break.

The worms are using linux to create their money machine and yet won't put out a player so we can play their movies on linux.

Gee I wonder how they test movies when they make them - could it be they are using the libdvdcss on their linux machines in hollywood?

I buy a movie - I should be able to copy it 1000 times if I want to for my personal use.

Sharpmusique seems to work just fine. I just installed it and previewed Dirty Diamonds (Alice Cooper) without a problem.

Finally got around to installing it. It works like a champ. It looks exactly like Pymusique.
