The current situation is awful. Not a lawyer. I wont change status to new but, well, when the script to get the means to circumvent the css protection is already being provided, I hardly think running it would make matters worse. You've provided the vector already, which I think is the legally questionable part, why not use it.
To be somewhat safer, manual input by the user -- it doesn't matter if you're clicking a button to agree or writing "I absolutely assert this is legal in my region", *something* should be presented when you try to play on encrypted dvd. Something meaningful which should either resolve the problem: (Window title: enable DVD playback) Pick your location on this map. [map widget] [and in bold] Some regions have restrictive laws controlling playback of commercial DVDs, so be aware it may be illegal to enable playback if, for example, you do not live in X [where x is somewhere in which I can now declare I reside and have this problem go away] or, at least, make it very, very clear what the problem is and provide a link to a web search. -- Totem should notify users about installing libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2 to read encrypted DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
