I've been following this story (and a followup)for a couple of days and some more has happened to it recently. The encription code for DVD was hacked a little while ago by some programmers in Norway. Since then a couple of stories have shown up on ZDNet and CNN (Thanks SkilSare). As well as this note from the guy who did it I spotted on /. who is of course now wrangling with them lawyers. Oh yeah, while on that subject, My list of DVD must haves: Big Lebowski, Grosse Point Blank, Austin Powers, Matrix, Seven, 5th Element, Pulp Fiction, Something About Mary. Oh yeah, and I'd love it if they came out with Braveheart already, damn.

  • All we need now is Marv Albert to somehow fit in Star Wars. His name would be \"Darth Ball\". He could be the emperor\'s new apprentice, and start dressing Anakin in a dress and a wig. Then after a backbiting incident, Ani goes to jail, and learns the ways of the darkside. His cell is next to Jar Jar\'s, where the annoying creature leaves the galaxy to pursue his talents as a gay rapper. Jar Jar gets Ani hooked on weed, since you know that fucker is stoned.

    Finally, after years of Pot use, Ani has a reefer one time at a gas station, blows the whole fucking thing up, and has to wear a suit to feed oxygen to him.

    Which is better than Watto\'s fate... That guy was a crackhead.
