Yes, its true. After numerous consultations with our legal team and all kinds of internal debate, we have decided that weve gotten the DeCSS case as far as we can. We wont be bringing it to the Supreme Court. While we share the disappointment many of you will feel, we think its very important to understand why this is the proper course of action. Our chances of the case being taken up by the Supreme Court were very slim. And it was the nearly unanimous opinion of all of the legal experts we consulted that the current Supreme Court wouldnt take our side. Either of these results could have caused a setback to the overall fight that were engaged in. To continue would have meant putting our egos ahead of the best legal strategy, something were not about to do.
