We won this one. According to the judgement, gaining access to a DVD you
own with "non-approved" tools is not illegal and making available a
digital crowbar is in most instances legal if it can not be proved
beyond reasonable doubt that the person making it/making it available
did so with the intent of assisting others in breaking the law.
So, as close to a total victory as you can get.
But keep in mind that this was just a minor skirmish in the large war.
We got our man back safely, but the Panzers are gathering for the big
EUCD battle.
