Great Article. I did a search on Jon and found a few references which were dated.

To fix the problem, he and two hackers he met online wrote a program called DeCSS, which removed the encryption that limits what devices can play the discs.

From what i have read Jon himself never actually decyphered the CSS methodology but one of those two other hackers did. He just wrote the front end and published it. The other two didn't
