	Software security method and systems - Patent 4747139
		The decryption routines and a key sequence to be applied to the key generator are stored with the application software on the storage medium.
		To decrypt the application software, the stored key sequence is applied to the key generator to obtain an output key sequence.
		Ih order that the decrypted software cannot be readily taken from the operating computer system after a key had been generated, the encrypted software instructions may include multiple loaded segments such as overlayed routines which are independently encrypted.

	DeCSS Central - CSS and DeCSS
		DeCSS, the proof-of-concept software that includes the CSS decryption code, was released in later october, 1999.
		DeCSS is a very simple windows tool that allows decryption of a CSS encrypted movie DVD and the copying of all or selected files from it to the harddisk.
		At this point in time, the only people for whom DVD piracy is profitable are the professional pirates who own expensive equipment and couldn't care less for any encryption, since they do bitwise copies anyways, which means that their pirate copies are precise duplicates of the originals, including the CSS encryption.

	What is a Dual Layer DVD? - DVD Copy Software Review
		DeCSS is a very simple windows tool that allows decryption of a CSS encrypted movie DVD and the copying of all or selected files from it to the harddisk.
		The main difference between the "1st generation" rippers and tools like DeCSS and DoD Speed Ripper are that the older rippers do not decrypt the DVD at all.
		At this point in time, the only people for whom DVD piracy is profitable are the professional pirates who own expensive equipment and couldn't care less for any encryption, since they do bitwise copies anyways, which means that their pirate copies are precise duplicates of the originals, including the CSS encryption.

	'DVD Jon' scores huge legal victory - Aftenposten.no
		Johansen and his defense attorney Halvor Manshaus won on all counts, with the Oslo court ruling that Johansen did nothing wrong when he helped cracked the code on a DVD that was his own personal property.
		Johansen therefore couldn't be convicted on such grounds, nor for acting as an accessory to other alleged illegal activity, wrote judge Irene Sogn in the court's ruling.
		Johansen, who was just 16 when the fuss around him started, maintained all along that pirate copying was never his intention.

		Still, this scheme employs a pirate decoder model that despite its generality it is not intended to apply to all settings.
		In particular it is assumed that (1) the pirate decoder is ``resettable'', i.e.
		In such multi-recipient encryption schemes, each decryption key is fingerprinted and when a pirate decoder is discovered, the authorities can trace the identities of the users that contributed in its construction (called traitors).

	The Old Joel on Software Forum - Defeating piracy with encryption?
		Decryption is on-the-fly, inside the CPU, where the private key is baked into the silicon.
		Also, the en- and decryption complexity vs. execution speed of programs would in my oppinion severly limit the key length that would be usable.
		There is a human vulnerability in that a sufficiently well-off pirate could just bribe someone with access to the master list to add a bogus key, thereby allowing the pirate to decrypt whatever he wants.

		In October 1990, Sykes sold a pirate descrambler for $250 to Sandra Helsel, a private investigator sent to his place of business by Cablevision, who tape recorded her conversation with Sykes.
		Noel had sold two pirate descramblers that he had obtained from a company in Chicago, Illinois to Ann Crowley and Darleen Lake, investigators for Cablevision, for $300 each in April 1991.

	DirectTV v. O.J. Simpson
		As a result of information obtained during the pre-raid investigation which indicated Defendant Simpson was involved in the piracy of DIRECTV's signal, a representative of DIRECTV accompanied law enforcement during the December 4, 2001 raid to assist in the identification of counterfeit or illegal materials associated with the theft of telecommunication services.
		The bootloaders found in Defendant Simpson's home were not only specifically designed to assist in the unauthorized decryption of DIRECTV satellite programming, that is precisely what the devices were being used for when the raid occurred.
		Defendant SIMPSON modified, manufactured, assembled, distributed and/or sold Pirate Access Devices knowing or having reason to know that such Pirate Access Devices were designed primarily for assistance in the unauthorized decryption of DIRECTV satellite transmission of television programming, in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 605 (e)(4).

		In the systems we consider, decryption of keys is done on smartcards, and key management is done in-band.
		However, with current smartcard technology, this scheme is only feasible for small system parameters, allowing up to about 100 pirates to be revoked before all the smartcards need to be replaced.
		We allow up to about 10000 pirates to be revoked using current smartcard technology before re-carding is needed.

		In some countries, the launch of digital terrestrial television has meant that pay television has become increasingly popular in countries with regular antennas.
		Pay-per-view (PPV) services are similar to subscription-based pay TV services in that you must pay to have the broadcast decrypted for viewing, but usually only entail a one-off payment for a single or time-limited viewing.
		"Free" variants are free-to-air (FTA) and free-to-view (FTV), however FTV services are normally encrypted and decryption cards either come as part of an initial subscription to a pay TV bouquet or can be purchased for a one-off cost.

		These devices sometimes were created by inserting unauthorized or “pirate” software into the computer chip in the access card.
		The pirate software provides false information to the proprietary verification software contained in the receiver/decoder when the proprietary verification software queries the access card to verify that the subscriber is authorized to receive certain programming.
		The pirate community developed “unlooper” devices, which could restore the software in the “looped” access cards to its original condition and could allow those access cards to again be illicitly programmed to decrypt all DirecTV’s satellite signals.

		Knowledge could be inferred through the use by the alleged seller of a pirate device in advertising literature or other media of nomenclature unique or common in the pirate device market.
		An alleged pirate or seller of pirate devices must not only be concerned with the possibility of multiple civil lawsuits under a broad interpretation of “person injured”, but must also be concerned with the prospect of criminal prosecution.

		Unloopers are devices used to "fix" or unloop pirate access cards that DIRECTV has attempted to diasble.
		Finally, pirates who deal in modified access cards or reprogramming devices are often subject to criminal prosecution at the expense of taxpayers.
		The current generation of access cards are often called “HU Cards,” and the previous generation are commonly referred to as “H cards.” “BS” or “Black Sunday” cards are H cards that were using pirate software code to gain illegal access to DIRECTV programming prior to being disabled by an electronic countermeasure in January of 2001.

	Slashdot \| Decryption Keys For HD-DVD Found, Confirmed
		The sad thing is that it'll work for release groups having decryption keys and pirates getting decrypted versions, while it probably won't work for average consumers who wants to do fair use like back-ups, format shift, non-HDCP screens and so on, because they don't have a disc from the same batch.
		Additionally, true pirates who recover the key of a particular player are able to keep their discovery secret by not publishing the key, and they will always be able to rip new HD-DVD movies.
		The majority of people who rip and burn movies are pirating them, not practicing their fair use right to show clips in schools or make backup copies.
