Hacking The XBox
For those that missed previous threads on this subject- a brief recap: Andrew Huang wrote a book showing how to hack the Microsoft X-Box gaming console. Originally Wiley Technology Publishing agreed to publish the book, but upon seeing the manuscript they backed out based on fears that Microsoft would pursue litigation using the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act).
Mr. Huang went on to self-publish the book which he sold through his web site.
Now, a new publisher has stepped forward to help Mr. Huang get his book to the public. Bill Pollock, President of No Starch Press publishing, said "When it gets to the point where people are canceling publishing of books, it's very scary. It's a sort of censorship.''
Here is a link to a NY Times article (you have to get a free registration from NY Times to view the article I think): Behind a Hacker's Book: A Primer On Copyright Law
