DamnedIfIknow used our news submit to tell us "Let"s hope he"s right about not getting arrested here."
From what there is to read in this article from Wired, it seems that Robertson
and Johansen have been emailing each other for some time. This led to a
relationship in which Robertson felt that he had a position for Johansen on a new project.
 Jon Lech Johansen, the 21-year-old Norwegian media hacker nicknamed DVD Jon, is moving to San Diego to work for maverick tech entrepreneur Michael Robertson in what can only be described as the most portentous team-up since Butch met Sundance. "I have no idea what I"ll be doing, but I know it will be reverse engineering, and I"m sure it will be interesting," Johansen told Wired News during a Friday stopover in San Francisco. In a posting to his website late Tuesday, Robertson said he"d snapped up Johansen to work on a "significant new project" called Obeo at his digital music company MP3tunes. Obeo will "bring digital music into the 21st century," Robertson wrote. |
According to the Wired article, DVD Jon says that the laws in his country are
so similar now to the ones in the United States, it makes no difference in a
legal sense what country he does his work in. Good luck DVD Jon and I'm sure you
will love it in San Diego, California.
