Jon Lech Johansen is the Norwegian teenager who took the CSS decryption algorithm and codified it into a Windows utility called DeCSS. He was/is a member of MoRE (see question 1.4.4), and on January 24th, 2000 was detained by Norwegian authorities and questioned for seven hours regarding his role in DeCSS. While the MPAA officially states that they were in no way involved with this incident, the Norwegian authorities say differently. This episode drew condemnation from civil rights and human rights organizations worldwide.
