Now enter the US Congress and laws about breaking software encryption for any reason being illegal. Add in a dose of the 1st ammendment
Well, it's not "for any reason", it's "for the purpose of circumventing copy-control devices". A brief pause here to note that the US Copyright Office recently issued requests for comments around CSS descrambling for legitimate purposes (watching out-of-region movies and skipping unskippable commercials on DVDs). So DeCSS may become more legal soon.
And a second pause for a quick round of applause that Sen. Fritz "I want to control your computer" Hollings is stepping down! (Hopefully to be replaced by someone with a social conscience and an understanding of matters at least slightly more recent than the eighteenth century).
