This is great news!



>From the BNA news:


NORWEGIAN TEEN ACQUITTED ON ALL CHARGES IN DECSS CASE
A Norwegian court has acquitted Jon Johansen of all charges
in a much-anticipated ruling involving the creation and
posting of the DeCSS program.  The court ruled that Johansen
did nothing wrong when he helped crack the code on DVDs,
finding that there was no evidence that he had used the
decryption code for illegal purposes nor that he intended to
contribute to illegal copying.
