‘DVD Jon’ Breaks Google Video Lock – Yahoo! News

Norwegian hacker Jon Lech Johansen has cracked the lock on Google’s new in-browser video player.

Johansen, also known as ‘DVD Jon’ for his work on decrypting DVD security codes, has created a patch for the Google Video Viewer—less than 24 hours after the search giant shipped the video playback plug-in, a tool based on the open-source VideoLAN media player.
