Here is the most recent version of the css-auth CVS code as well as DeCSS. Please mirror & redistribute.
This page was originally a mirror of http://www.rhythm.cx/dvd/, but then rhythm.cx was forced down.
So I've taken it on myself to keep a list of mirrors. I try to update and check the status of the listed sites occasionally. If you know of any mirrors not in my list, if you wish to mirror this page, or if you find that any of the listed sites went down, then contact me.

Update 21/Dec/1999: About 11 hours downtime for the whole server. Someone plugged out the power chord at around 8 pm local time yesterday. If I find him, I'll kill him.
The power loss does not seem to have caused any data loss. Good. I'll make it a quick death.

Update 14/Dec/1999: I'll no longer check the mirrors daily. There has been little or no change for the past weeks, so daily updates would be a waste of time. I will still do occasional checks.

you can download the following four files from here:

The following site contains some good technical documentation as well as more source code that the DVD consortium's lawyers would rather you not see:
http://crypto.gq.nu/
Local Mirror: /decss/crypto.gq.nu

You can contact me at tom@lemuria.org if you have any questions regarding mirroring, or want your mirror added here.

Note to the DVD Consortium and the movie industry:

Are we pirates and criminals? No, we are not, sir! We are just fed up with your head-up-your-ass attitude. CSS was a joke, region codes are ridiculous and your whole protectionism is both stupid and harmful to both customers and yourself. I, for example, would have never bought a DVD drive if this crack had not happened, because my operating system of choice is Linux and you didn't deem me important enough to make sure there's a DVD player for it available. So reverse-engineering CSS was the only way to make it happen. I'm glad someone did, and it was only after that happened that I went out and bought a DVD.
As a customer, I feel like you're pulling my leg with all this protectionism. I am willing to buy DVD movies. But what is all this bullshit with "can't do screenshots", "can only set region code 5 times" and all the other stupidity? It'll definitely not stop a professional pirate. It does, however, make my life as a consumer more difficult. If I want to make a screenshot from my favorite movie to use as a desktop background (perfectly legal under copyright law's "fair use" article!) then I have to rely on ripper software of a doubtfull legal status?
Either you are a bunch of complete idiots, or someone fooled you so big that I'd like to talk to you about that bridge in Brooklyn I have for sale...

Note to lawyers and other scum:


This information is widely available by now, and no matter what you do, you will not be able to supress it. It was the DVD consortium that f***ed up, and now you're trying to solve a technological problem with threats and legal action?
If there were fines on stupidity, yours would cover the national debts of most western countries.
