"2 September 2005, The Register published news that DVD Jon had hacked encryption in Microsoft's Windows Media Player by reverse engineering a proprietary algorithm ostensibly used to protect Media Player NSC files from hackers sniffing for the files' source IP address, port or stream format; Johansen had also made a decoder available."

I know it is rather worthless now and I don't need a link or anything, I'm just curious about whether that actually ever occurred, because I have never seen anything actually referring to it other than that article or other things referring to that article.

[edit] DVD Jon or DVD-Jon?

Both are used here. Theshibboleth 22:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Since it's a nickname, I don't see why it really matters. --Gloriamarie 20:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved back to Norway

The article states that Jon lives in San Francisco but his blog notes that in November 2006 he moved back to Norway. I'm not editing the article as I don't have more info. Boguslinks 01:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
