  Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Eric Corley
Eric Corley is viewed as a leader of the computer hacker community and goes by the name "Emmanuel Goldstein[?]", after the leader of the underground in George Orwell’s classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
The name "2600" was derived from the fact that phreakers in the 1960s found that the transmission of a 2600-hertz tone over a long-distance trunk connection gained access to "operator mode" and allowed the user to explore aspects of the telephone system that were not otherwise accessible.
Corley chose the name because he regarded it as a "mystical thing," commemorating something that he evidently admired.

Eric Corley is viewed by some as a leader of the computer hacker community and goes by the name "Emmanuel Goldstein", after the leader of the underground in George Orwell's classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
The name "2600" was derived from the fact that phreakers in the 1960s found that the transmission of a 2600 hertz tone over a long-distance trunk connection gained access to "operator mode" and allowed the user to explore aspects of the telephone system that were not otherwise accessible.

 politechbot.com: MPAA member companies' supplemental brief
Corley has not been harmed by any purported inability to make use of any copyright- expired work and, for reasons previously addressed by the United States and the Studios, he cannot make an overbreadth challenge.
Corley has not been enjoined from asking others to "mirror these [DeCSS] files"; he was enjoined, once they did so, from continuing to provide to the public the copies created through his purposeful and intentional linking scheme, because the DMCA prohibits that trafficking in circumvention devices.
If Corley's challenge to the injunction is subject to First Amendment review at all, therefore, it is subject not to Brandenburg but to intermediate review, or, at most, to the slightly adjusted review for at least some injunctions applied in Madsen v.

 Puzzles and Life : DVD hacker to keep challenging ruling
Corley's lawyers on Jan. 14 requested a rehearing by the full 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Court in New York after a three-judge panel ruled in November that Corley's publishing of the DVD descrambling software on his 2600 magazine Web site was not protected by free speech provisions.
Corley, along with other DMCA opponents, such as civil rights advocates, believe the controversial law gives studios and software companies too much control over use of digital material, denying citizens the same free speech rights in Cyberspace that people enjoy elsewhere.
Corley's lawyers said if the appeals court is unwilling to hear the case, they will file a petition to the Supreme Court.

 Motion Picture Association of America
Corley's attack on the trafficking proscriptions as a violation of free speech is perverse, because the DMCA was enacted to increase the amount and variety of digital speech available to the public, not to suppress speech or speakers.
Corley was not sued for reporting that DeCSS had been developed and that it decrypts DVDs; he was sued for providing to the public on a sustained and continuous basis, in violation of the DMCA, the actual decryption device whose distribution Congress prohibited.
Corley and his amici ignore this history against which the permanent injunction was crafted and, misguidedly, complain that this appeal presents broad questions about the constitutional status of linking generally.

 On the DeCSS Decision | The New America Foundation
Corley, publisher of the hacker zine 2600, graced page C1 of the New York Times last Friday, striking an arms-crossed pose that oozed defiance.
Now Corley, who fancies himself a political agitator in the Abbie Hoffman vein, is the media's stone-flinging David du jour, an earnest pro-freedom muckraker with a quick wit and appealingly bohemian wardrobe.
The MPAA insists that Corley's martyrdom was necessary because the decoding program in question, known as DeCSS, was being used to pirate DVDs, thus threatening MPAA President Jack Valenti's ability to afford dinner at Spago on a thrice-weekly basis.

Eric Corley led the audience through their weekly does of political world discussion, local issues in Long Island (the show's broadcast range didn't spread much beyond Long Island), satire, the latest songs/news on The Clash and their spinoffs, and other important issues (such as Klondike Bars and Locks on 7-11s).
Most of the calls that Eric gets are comical (to say the least), and the ones of this episode are no different.
Eric reminds the listeners of the 900 prayer line, while a confused Jim Wiener tries to counter Eric by reminding the listeners that there is no prayer line and that the News room is, in fact, not sound proof.

Corley further argued that the restrictions placed on publication by the Copyright Act were unconstitutionally vague.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the movie studios also sought to enjoin Corley from linking to other sites that posted DeCSS, but the court declined to entertain the application at that time in view of the movie studios' failure to raise the issue in their motion papers.
Corley thus argued that the DMCA could not properly be construed to make it difficult or impossible to make any fair use of the movie studios' copyrighted works and that the statute therefore did not reach Corley’s activities.
Corley argued that such reach is not consistent with the First Amendment.
