If you think it's rather unjust for a "free" country to ban a piece of software, you should stop buying encrypted DVD's, and write your congresspeople to tell them not to support the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the law that makes tools like DeCSS criminal. They will probably ignore you, because the money they get from the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is far more than that they could get from you, but hopefully if enough people voice their concern over this truly orwellian law, it will be overturned. > On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 10:17 PM, Koh Choon Lin > <[email protected]> wrote: > > There is a tutorial on how to play CSS-encumbered DVDs > (which means > > most commercial DVDs) in the wiki.
