So in addition to being an expert coder, you also have a law degree, eh?
You really should pay more attention to HOW the DMCA has been enforced and pursued. There was that case where they started going after a professor, and that was NOTHING but theory. Also consider Blizzard's recent crusade against bnetd.
Circumventing Interplay's express wishes and the efforts of Volition to remove Interplay IP so they could release this source code to us is MUCH less noble that the professors academic work. Theoretical or not, you are either going to get yourself (or worse, us) in trouble if you continue down this path.
Of course, you refuse to cooperate on so many levels, why should I be surprised if you ignore this?
Weren't you the one who said all the other video methods sucked, and insisted people use DivX?
