Jon Lech Johansen was born to kill digital rights management technology. He started as a teen, adopting the handle DVD Jon. In addition to cracking open the technology used to encrypt DVDs, he's taken his hammer to Apple's FairPlay DRM. Recently, DVD Jon and partner Monique Farantzos founded DoubleTwist, a company that offers products designed to simplify the flow of media across devices and social networks.
