Court documents surrounding the MPAA court case over DeCSS have been posted along with a transcript of the hearing and a copy of the preliminary injunction. (I think the defense needs to get a DVD burner and demonstrate to the court that they can dupe a DVD. Then they need to rip the DVD to a hard disk, send it over a network wire to the other side of the room and burn a copy there.)

A British citizen has been sentenced in U.S. District Court in San Jose to 27 months in prison for selling pirated copies of popular computer programs, such as Microsoft Excel, Lotus 123 and Auto Desk AutoCAD. He was originally indicted by a federal grand jury in April 1996. (It took almost four years to come to trail? No wonder the guy pleaded guilty.)

On the Same Site we also found an excellent article covering commonly used listening device frequencies. It covers everything from 15.7kHz to the 2.4 GHz band. (Only for the truly paranoid.)
