Finkelstein on Singleton and DeCSS

Seth Finkelstein offers a reubuttal to Solveig Singleton’s contention that DeCSS wasn’t related to the effort to build an open Linux DVD player.

  • Oh dear. DeCSS certainly was "related" to the efforts to build an open source DVD player. It is just that the nature of the relationship is somewhat... rocky and contentious.
  • Solveig, the point is that there was a large team effort at building a free-software Linux DVD player. That's not disputable. For those purposes, it's extremely misleading to obsess on a couple of trivial arguments with one kid, who (no disrespect meant), for *decryption* work, was only tangentially related to the actual reverse-engineering.

    I understand the rhetorical reason for the mudslinging. But it *is* mudslinging.
  • I need to know what type of battery is in the nokia 7710 on the main board if anyone can help
