Is it a reasonable idea to try to figure out a way to play HD-DVDs on an Open Source Software OS? I think that this is possible and it would be much more secure than M$ Vista.

I'm not saying that anything you're suggesting is illegal (because I don't know), but some of this is a touchy area. If we're suspected of trying to subvert the DMCA or something like that, we could get into a lot of trouble. If we're going to do something that involves any kind of DRM in any way that isn't crystal clear within the law, we're going to run it by a team of lawyers first. Traversal can't stop other hardware hackers from making hardware that breaks the law, but we can have nothing to do with it. This is all for the safety of the project. We're going to be very careful. We may not like the law, but somehow, I think the OGP might suffer at least a small loss if Howard, Andy, or I ended up in jail, or we were fined out of business or whatever. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Favorite book: The Design of Everyday Things, Donald A.
