Jon Johansen, DeCSS, more history
More good reading besides Jon Johansen's trial testimony:
http://www.free-dvd.org.lu/css-chain-of-events.txt - "CSS chain of events"
And a great interview in LinuxWorld.com

Jon Johansen: I'm 16 now, I was 15 when it happened ... and the encryption code wasn't in fact written by me, but written by the German member. There seems to be a bit of confusion about that part.LinuxWorld: The other two people that you had worked with to make the player are remaining anonymous -- is that right?
Jon Johansen: Yes, that is correct.
...
LinuxWorld: Do you know why they want to remain anonymous?
Jon Johansen: They are both a lot older than me, and they are employed. So I guess they just didn't want the publicity, and they were perhaps afraid of getting fired.
