About DeCSS
DeCSS is a utility for stripping
Cascading Style Sheet
tags from an HTML page. It has no relationship whatsoever to encryption,
copy protection, movies, software freedom, oppressive industry
cartels, Web site witch hunts, or any other bad things that could get
you in trouble.
You can read more about the motives behind the development of
DeCSS here. The
original article about DeCSS can be found at http://www.pigdog.org/decss/.
