[LINK] New DVD Descrambler

[Tizard, James (IEPO)]

Maybe, or even better, you could have it tattooed (sp?) on your arm as some
hardcase did with the equivalent tiny Perl RSA encrytptor a few years ago.
In that case, his tattoo turned him into a 'munition'.  Presumably he is
still a munition unless (a) he has been disarmed (groan) or (b) he's had
"Monique - together for ever" tattoed over the top.

So if I memorised it, could I turn myself into an illegal circumvention
device?

And, of course, if they did, you did, since you left the contentious

Actually, if you read it *very* carefully, and store it in an internal
lookup table, you can accept a crypted .VOB file in your mouth, and a
decrypted one comes out your... oh; wait a minute, you're going to need to
select() on that because it's quite busy multiplexing already...

Oh dear.
