Infoworld reports that open source definition author and open source advocate Bruce Perens will violate the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ("DMCA") this upcoming Friday. Perens will demonstrate how to circumvent the digital rights management ("DRM") technology in a DVD player. The presentation will take place on Friday afternoon at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention in San Diego. When Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov did a similar thing with Adobe's Ebook technology at the Defcon conference last July, he was arrested by the FBI.
