> (San Francisco) CNET reported today that MP3.com has removed a song from
> its service that details the computer code that allows users to make
> copies of digital films on DVDs. A federal judge banned a hacker
> publication called 2600.com from publishing the code. Joseph Wecker, the
> writer of the song who is protesting the court's ruling, argued that the
> First Amendment protects his right to sing a song about the code. Other
> protesters have published portions of the code on T-shirts and have
> recorded dramatic readings of the code.
