A date has been set for the trial of Jon Johansen, the Norwegian hacker who created the controversial DVD descrambling tool DeCSS.
The trial will start at a Norwegian district court on 9 December and will be headed up by one judge with the help of two lay assessors.
Johansen was indicted in January, more than two years after the Motion Picture Industry Association of America (MPIAA) filed for a criminal investigation over the creation of DeCSS.
