Watches on judgment in trial against DVD Grant
The settling of the occupation against Grant Johansen, the maker of the abused program DeCSS, drags certainly not on. Both parties have their arguments already at the right voorgelegd and wait now on a pronunciation. The public prosecutor demands this time a suspended imprisonment of ninety days. Presumably the judgment is published on 22 December.
Johansen pleaded innocently on the new accusation that he the Norwegian copyrightwetgeving with the feet had stepped. Causes of the charge was the writing of DeCSS, a Linux-program that he made on 15-birthday age. With that application becomes the possible the protection on DVD-movies to remove. After that can become the movie with someone else application gecopyd.
DeCSS was about the first program that this made possible and it appearing of it woke many resentment on by the American movie industry. That hoped namely with DVD finally a technology to have that not through pirates could copiedbecome. Until her disappointment the Content Scrambling System (CSS) appeared totally not so onkraakbaar.
During the first trial against Johansen became he accused of the breaking in on DVD that he self had bought.,. Because the right agreement went not with that position, the public prosecutor threw it during the occupation about someone else bow. This time the Noor was accused because of the damaging of copyrights.
