+    Muse!  When we learned to
+    count, little did we know all
+    the things we could do
+
+    some day by shuffling
+    those numbers: Pythagoras
+    said "All is number"
+
+    long before he saw
+    computers and their effects,
+    or what they could do
+
+    by computation,
+    naive and mechanical
+    fast arithmetic.
+
+    It changed the world, it
+    changed our consciousness and lives
+    to have such fast math
+
+    available to
+    us and anyone who cared
+    to learn programming.
+
+    Now help me, Muse, for
+    I wish to tell a piece of
+    controversial math,
+
+    for which the lawyers
+    of DVD CCA
+    don't forbear to sue:
+
+    that they alone should
+    know or have the right to teach
+    these skills and these rules.
+
+    (Do they understand
+    the content, or is it just
+    the effects they see?)
+
+    And all mathematics
+    is full of stories (just read
+    Eric Temple Bell);
+
+    and CSS is
+    no exception to this rule.
+    Sing, Muse, decryption
+
+    once secret, as all
+    knowledge, once unknown: how to
+    decrypt DVDs.
