Judge Blocks Publishing of DVD Cracking Code

Reuters is reporting that a federal judge has banned a journalist from publishing the code used to crack DVD encryption. The popular magazine 2600 and several Web sites were given a similar order earlier this year. The preliminary injunction is just temporary until further review, and comes as a minor victory to the movie companies and other companies involved in the lawsuit, who were going for a permanent injunction. Stay tuned as the story and the case develops and continues.
