The Copy Control Association (CCA), which was granted a preliminary injunction against Andrew Bunner and other Webmasters, was handed its head in a California appellate court Thursday.

The trial court had granted the injunction against publishing Jon Johansen's DeCSS DVD descrambler, but Brunner appealed on First Amendment free-speech grounds.

The CCA scoffed at the notion, claiming that the source code has a mere practical function and no expressive content.

Yeah, the courts ruled that software is considered as speech so looks as though everyone can start posting it again without fears of the MPAA coming after them.
 
this wont make much difference, as there are plenty of software to rip DVD's etc you can find them here
