DVD Jon needs a new name!

I've been following the recent news about the norwegian hacker who created PyMusique, which allows you to download songs without the DRM stuff recording companies insert in every file. The only thing I have to say is I was disappointed to hear the guy referred to as DVD Jon. I like to think of hackers as the modern day equivalent of rogues and pirates. And when I think of rogues and pirates, I remember the legendary ones had cool, scary sounding names like Captain Blood or Captain Hook.

The name DVD Jon isn't exciting enough darn it! It yes, perhaps reminds me that at 15 the guy was brilliant enough to crack DVD encryptions. However, all I can think is, you've been cracking encryptions since you were 15, but you can't come up with even a slightly cooler nickname? That's like... well, it's like if Babe Ruth had decided to call himself 'guy who hits a lot of baseballs much farther than other people'. It would yes, remind me that Babe Ruth could hit a lot of home runs, but see how that nickname leaves something to be desired?
