The California Court of Appeal has just reversed the preliminary
injunction in the DeCSS trade secret case, holding that DeCSS is "pure
speech" protected by the First Amendment and that the DVD Copy Control
Association's interest in protecting its trade secrets pending trial
can't justify a prior restraint on publication of DeCSS.
