Do you remember this ruling?

Five years ago, this was written:

Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction barring defendants from posting
DeCSS on theirweb site and from linking their site to others that make DeCSS available.

And...

Accordingly, plaintiffs are entitled to appropriate injunctive and declaratory relief.

What's interesting is what has happened since then. Not only was it true that the horse is really gone:

Defendants argue that an injunction in this case would be futile because DeCSS already is all over the Internet. They say an injunction would be comparable to locking the barn door after the horse is gone. And the Court has been troubled by that possibility. But the countervailing arguments overcome that concern.

But on top of that the links are still there, and the debate keeps going all over the place, because after 2600.com was Napster, DVDXCOPY, Grokster, etc. Tomorrow it will be Emule and Bittorrent.

At least 2600.com can't link to DeCSS. Good.
