Of course the rest of the paragraph, where he bitches about how new laws might put him in jail for writing pirateware, well, that's priceless too.

Tell that to the Norweigan kid whom the MPAA is trying to imprison for writing software to view DVDs (view, not copy). But the "Digital Software Security Act" is misguided; these guys should be trying to get bad laws like the DMCA repealed or struck down, rather than trying to have government forcibly impose their preferences.

How about a simpler approach: License the freakin' drivers for Linux from the MPAA and play your DVDs. But ... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... you've gotta be drama queens ...
