OSLO, Norway -- A Norwegian teenager has been cleared of DVD piracy charges in a landmark trial brought by major Hollywood studios.

The Oslo court said Jon Johansen, known in Norway as "DVD Jon," had not broken the law when he helped unlock a code and distribute a computer program enabling DVD films to be copied.

"Johansen is found not guilty," Judge Irene Sogn told the court. She said prosecutors could appeal against the unanimous verdict.

NAME

       pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations

SYNOPSIS

       pktsetup packet_device block_device
       pktsetup -d packet_device
       pktsetup -s

DESCRIPTION

       Pktsetup  is  used  to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can then be mounted and potentially
       used as a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the packet device, and the UDF filesystem.

       See: http://packet-cd.sourceforge.net/ <>

EXIT STATUS

       Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.

OPTIONS

       -d packet-device
	      Delete the association between the specified packet-device and its block device.

       -s     Show device mappings.

EXAMPLE

       The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.

	      cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
	      pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/sr0

	      mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
	       ...
	      umount /dev/pktcdvd0
	      pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0

FILES

       /dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,...	CD/DVD packet devices (block major=97)
