Jon Johansen cleared in landmark DVD case

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.

that is a good thing to see! these companies like the RIAA and others seem like they are feeling more and more powerful and will start to make up there own rules. its good to see that judges in other countries havnt lost their minds and start throwing people in jail for stuff like that. thats my opinion anyway....
