From Associated Press

Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor threw out an emergency stay that barred a former Web master from putting DVD decryption programs on the Internet.

Attorney Jeffrey Kessler said the DVD Copy Control Assn., which licenses software to film studios to block illegal copying, fears that Matthew Pavlovich will re-post programs that help people duplicate movies for free.

Pavlovich’s lawyer argued that decryption programs are available on hundreds of sites.
