Apparently, our friend Bruce Perens is thinking of doing the DVD player 
demo after all.  It seems that him and HP aren't getting along well in 
terms of his activism, so he's thinking about leaving and becoming a 
consultant.

"Perens says he is leaving HP to pursue political activism. His protests 
against the DMCA and other legislation that Perens says threatens the 
open source community, apparently, were too much for HP to handle. So he 
is becoming an independent consultant and will work with HP as a 
consultant. He also plans to follow through with a presentation of a DVD 
player cracking software that he says is in violation of the DMCA. HP 
stopped him from doing the demonstration at the O'Reilly Open Source 
Convention last month." (From /. SlashBack, Thu Aug 15)
