However if you copy copy-protected CD foo with program bar at home you
won't be persecuted by criminal law, but the manufacturar might start
private action against you, claiming compensation.
Now try to apply the latter on playing a DVD with xine using
libdvdcss2 instead of copying a CD, I really cannot see which
damage the DVD manufacturarer could claim compensation for.
It enough if they sue you for Unterlassung (you have to sign that
you'll never do it again) - the costs for the lawyer that sued you will
be significant.
