Just wanted to reply to this thread somewhere but then I found this mail
with pretty much sums up my thoughts:

Just to add a bit more balance, I think both point of views are
valuable. Indeed, it's against the law to distribute libdvdcss in some
countries and I believe it's perfectly fair not to have RPMfusion
distribute it. The purpose of RPMFusion is not to fight against bad
laws, but to distribute legal software that cannot be distributed by
Fedora itself for one reason or another. It is also perfectly fair to
fight against those dubious laws and I 100% agree with you on this
front. RPMFusion is just not the place to do that, it would be too bad
to loose contributors or worst, spoil all the efforts that were needed
to build RPMFusion. Thorsten spoke about yet another place to fetch
libdvdcss from
For now just continue to obtain it where you got it from until now (e.g.
livna or freshrpms)
, so let's have the people willing to endorse that do it,
+1 -- I suppose those people will start to act once we definitely
decided not to have libdvdcss in RPM Fusion
but RPMFusion should stay away from this.
