ACLU Appeal for cphack DVD & DeCSS6/5/2000; 7:12:43 AM April 6, 2000: The ACLU has appealed the injunction against posting cphack.

"What these guys were posting was not copyright-protected material," said Sarah Wunsch, an ACLU attorney in Boston. "We don't believe the judge has authority to issue a restraining order at all."

That's actually two seperate arguments. First, why does what a judge in Boston has ruled matter to me? And more interestingly, how does it matter to someone in France? Second, how is posting cphack a violation of copyright when they are perfectly free to do so according to the GPL?
