The MPAA speaks about Emanuel Goldstein. For a very long time, the MPAA has been suing the website and magazine 2600 for posting the DeCSS source code on its website. This is a FAQ from the MPAA's homepage. The incredible irony in seeing the words "Emanuel Goldstein" mentioned brings to mind (obviously to many of you) 1984.

If you stare at advertisements long enough you can start to see the word 'sex' written everywhere in cryptic runelike letters. General paranoia and lucubration can contribute to this phenomen. Of course you could just admit you were drunk when you posted this. I would go along with that.

From http://www.mpaa.org/Press/Hyperlink_FAQ.htm: "2600's, "Emmanuel Goldstein," has clearly articulated his objective, to thumb his nose at the judge's order and show his disdain for copyright law. After the judge's order, Goldstein put out a call to users of his Web site to reproduce DeCSS elsewhere on the Internet, and then to help him in creating the necessary hyperlinks to those sites. His actions have forced the motion picture studios to ask the judge for additional relief" Is that what you were talking about?
