"SAN FRANCISCO (November 2, 2001 6:20 p.m. EST) - Publishing software
code to decrypt and copy digital movies is protected by the First
Amendment as an expression of free speech, a California appeals
court ruled.
"The state's 6th Appellate District in San Jose found Thursday that
Andrew Bunner's publishing of links to a software program called
DeCSS on his Web site represented "pure speech" protected under
the First Amendment."
