I guess one of the reasons for maneuvering the appeal results to Christmas is that the prosecutors knew they would lose again and either way, it would be drowned out in the holidy activies. However, too few articles point out the fallacy that DeCSS has anything to do with copying -- it is only useful for viewing DVDs. Copying can be done just fine without DeCSS.
Now why control over the viewing platform is an issue would be an interesting question to ask.
