DVD Jon working in America!

You all remember DVD Jon right, he was the brilliant 16 year old that built a tool the rest of the world could use to RIP DVD’s. If you remember he was acquitted twice in Norway. Well this brave soul has taken a job in San Diego so the question is now will authorities try to go after him. Recently he has built a tool that allows people to bypass the DRM that Apple invokes on any media purchased through the iTunes music store.

Seeing how pissed off the DVD and Movie industry was and how nasty the MPAA and RIAA have been towards people of his stature I am sure he is a bit nervous. Now I would imagine a lawyer has looked at his legal standings and feel confident about him not being prosecuted here in the States but I would not be surprised if they try to pin something on him anyway.

But he has said he will not be producing any tools while working in the states. [Wired]
