I was hoping for more honesty... (Score 1)

I don't think the fact that the subject of this case being DeCSS is all that relevant. It bothers me that this judge, who has had previous contact with either parties (and the contact seems to portray him possibly favoring one party over the other), did not excuse himself from the bench for possible conflicts of interest. I don't care if it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, or if he joined the dark side and "forgot"; a judge cannot be excused because he "forgets".

The fact that these new findings have come into light should be more than enough reason for this judge to remove himself. Hopefully these new findings will only win more favor towards the Linux DVD effort.
