	With Cable TV at M.I.T., Who Needs Napster? - 10e20 Website Design Latest News
		Winstein, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, described the result as "a new kind of library." He said he hoped it would be a legal alternative to file trading that infringes copyrights.
		Winstein said that the equipment cost about $10,000, and the music, which was bought through a company that provides music on hard drives for the radio industry, for about $25,000.
		Winstein, who has a girlfriend, politely declined the offer, and said he realized that he might need to add a feature that would let users control the system anonymously.

		LAMP provides access to 3,500 contemporary and classical CDs and was created by Keith Winstein, 22, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, and Josh Mandel, 21, a junior in the same major.
		Winstein and Mandel will also publish the design and software driving LAMP as "open-source," available to be freely implemented elsewhere, especially at other universities.
		Winstein estimates the cost for another university to replicate LAMP at about $10,000 in off-the-shelf equipment, plus $25,000 to buy the CD collection.

	Alien Soup - View Single Post - DeCSS 2? DVD code broken again
		March 8, 2001 4:31 AM PT MIT student Keith Winstein and alum Marc Horowitz say they're out to prove a point: Publishing code that decrypts and plays DVD movies is not a crime.
		Winstein and Horowitz created the program as part of a two-day MIT seminar that Winstein taught earlier this year on the debate surrounding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the controversial law that broadens copyright holders' power to protect their content online.
		During the course, Winstein used the short program to illustrate that breaking DVD encryption is trivial, he said.

		Keith Jonathan Winstein, 17, of Oak Park, focused on steganography—techniques for embedding information in host data without making any perceptible change to the original material—in developing his computer science project for the Intel Science Talent Search.
		In filling that vacuum, Keith created a framework and what he terms a "naïve" algorithm for lexical steganography based on synonym substitutions.
		Keith is the son of Dr. Bruce and Joan Winstein and attends the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) in Aurora.

		Winstein, a graduate student of electrical engineering and computer science, and Mandel, a junior studying computer science, developed a system for sharing music files that they thought would avoid the recent legal issues over copyright laws, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
		Winstein and Mandel believed the system was legal due to the difference between digital and analog technology.
		Winstein and Mandel believed that they could bypass the legal restrictions placed on digital file sharing by using the analog cable system to transmit data.

		Using only seven lines of Perl code, Keith Winstein and Marc Horowitz have created the shortest-yet method to remove the thin layer of encryption that is designed to prevent people -- including Linux users -- from watching DVDs without proper authorization.
		Winstein says it's folly for MPAA and its allies to try to restrict a 526-character program that can be handed out on business cards.
		Winstein and Horowitz, an MIT alumnus, are both members of the MIT Student Information Processing Board, the university's social group for programmers and like-minded folks.

	Music-Sharing Service at M.I.T. Is Shut Down - 10e20 Website Design Latest News
		The music service had its official start one week ago but within hours, music companies, including the Universal Music Group, complained that they had not granted - or been paid for - the required legal permission to make the copies of their songs used by the system.
		The creators of the new service, M.I.T. students Keith Winstein and Josh Mandel, were dumbfounded by the industry move, since they had paid Loudeye, a company in Seattle, to fill a hard drive with licensed songs.
		Winstein as saying, "As far as we know, Loudeye is the only company in the country with all the rights and permissions in place to provide this service." That news release has since been removed from Loudeye's Web site.

	Ultimate AV: Simple DVD Descrambling Code Spreading Quickly, to MPAA's Dismay
		Now the organization is trying to suppress "grpff," a descrambling code only 526 characters long, invented by MIT student Keith Winstein and MIT graduate Marc Horowitz.

	Seven lines of code crack DVD encryption
		Qrpff was created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) computer science student Keith Winstein and MIT alumnus Marc Horowitz as a demonstration for a seminar Winstein taught at the college called "Decrypting DVD," which discussed the technical and legal issues surrounding the DeCSS decision and the DMCA, Winstein said in an e-mail interview.
		Winstein said the program "helps demonstrate the preposterous incongruity" of barring the spread of such computer programs, as has been done with DeCSS.
		Qrpff is a good illustration of this issue because anyone "can write those seven lines of code on a piece of paper and hand them to you," which would, presumably, make them protected speech.

		Winstein, according to BBC News Online, also said: "We have taken it down temporarily to show good faith and because the whole point is to be very, very careful and obey the copyright law." The Associated Press detailed some of the chain of events around the temporary unraveling of the service.
		Winstein and Mandel did manage to make another startling scientific rediscovery: When the heat is on, you pass the buck.

	Device Profile: StreetFire Sound RBX1600 CD audio jukebox frontend
		Initially, LAMP project co-founder Keith J. Winstein believed that basing LAMP on physical CD jukeboxes would not be practical.
		Winstein's conclusion was based on the high expense of CD jukeboxes with computer interfaces, because at that time, no solution existed for gluing inexpensive consumer audio jukeboxes to computers -- a situation that changed with the advent of the StreetFire Sound RBX1600.
		MIT students Keith Winstein and Josh Mandel were sent the first 10 RBX1600s manufactured, and used the boxes to convert LAMP from hard-drive based content to an array of inexpensive CD jukeboxes.
