IR // News // Judge Hints at Code in 'Da Vinci' Ruling: "LONDON - The judge who presided at the 'Da Vinci Code' copyright infringement trial has put a code of his own into his ruling, and he said Wednesday he would 'probably' confirm it to the person who breaks it.
Since Judge Peter Smith delivered his ruling April 7, lawyers in London and New York began noticing odd italicizations in the 71-page document.
In the weeks afterward, would-be code-breakers got to work on deciphering Smith's code.
'I can't discuss the judgment,' Smith said in a brief conversation with The Associated Press, 'but I don't see why a judgment should not be a matter of fun.'"
