@Marting, I don't think it's legal in Europe. But I could be wrong. TBH, but I don't care. If it's not legal in any country, means, in all countries of the world it has to be legal, my wish is that no one is able to install it with apt-get install libdvdcss2 from Ubuntu.
Further, it's not ubuntus fault, not even marks or anyone else, that the DMCA or the EUCD is blocking this. You want Linux to play your propietaery encrypted DVDs? Please go to your representative of your EU or your US dictator, and tell him that you are infridged in your freeness to play rightly bought DVDs. If those people understand what's up with you...this problem will be solved asap. The other method would be, write letters, not emails, to your local sony, toshiba, phillips, bertelsmann (aka sonopress, which is one of the biggest DVD resellers) etc. distributor and tell him, that you don't buy any DVDs they will sell or produce. If anyone in your country is doing this, libdvdcss2 will be freed like no other piece of software from the ubuntu or debian ftp-master. Regards, \sh PS: There is no need for buying encrypted DVDs. -- Automatic installation of DVD CSS support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157099 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
