On December 26, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor issued an order granting a temporary stay in DVD Copy Control Association v. Matthew Pavlovich (S 100609), pending receipt of further documentation relevant to the case. The DVD Copy Control Association has been fighting a three-year long battle to protect the Content Scramble System (CSS), a program that prevents users from accessing DVD content on “unauthorized devices.” The CSS is covered under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). See the California Supreme Court decision in Pavlovich, filed November 25, 2002, here.
