 Hi A,
 welcome to your first exposure to politics of Free software! DVD css was
 the first flagpole that the entertainment lobby put in the ground to lay
 claim to your property. Css provides no other use but to forbid you from
 fully owning your own property. The next flagpole is apple's DRM that
 they use on their music that stop you from using it anywhere you want.
 Then there was Microsoft windows media player DRM. The other day I
 wanted to see channel4.com's new video-on-demand but it even tighens the
 noose more: it requires you to be in the UK to watch the content (that
 you pay for), only on one computer (that cant be transfered) and you
 need to install window xp, .net 2.0 and window media player 10 and then
 you can only watch it once and when you start to watch it, you have a
 time limit of a day before you are no longer authorized to watch it, the
 DRM essentially prevents you from watching something that you payed for,
 on your own computer. At least the DVD only has CSS and its companion
 the DMCA and it doesnt stop you from watching your own DVD. The point
 with Free software is any free software program that you use to play a
 DVD, apple i-tunes file, other other DRM formats will always be a crime
 according to most nations laws with help from WIPO.(there are exceptions
 to this statement, as other can attest, but its not getting better) Go
 to wikipedia and check out 'drm', 'dmca' and 'decss' for the basic
 details.  Anyway, even Pink Floyd could not have dreamed up something so
 twisted as DRM :-)

There are distribution issues with the DeCSS code. 

All Debian packages install documentation to /usr/share/doc/packagename
so you need to navigate to /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ and read
README.Debian.

Basically, you need to install libdvdcss2 from an unofficial Debian
archive.

Hello Sven

Cheers for the response.

Well, I'll be a primate's mother's brother: all the warning seemed to do 
was just to give a warning re: verification. I changed my sources list 
as noted previously and apt-get install libdvdcss2 and it worked like a 
charm. Now that is *very* cool!!

libdvdcss2 isn't really non-free, neither is quite a lot of the other
stuff Marillat maintains. 

Silly laws and regulations in some parts of the world prevent these
packages from being part of the main archives.

(By the way, I referred to libdvdcss as DeCSS in an earlier reply, this
is wrong.)

Regulations prevent distribution = non-free

software with a free licence is not freely distributable, lobby your

At one time, the libdvdread package contained a shell script that would
download the code from chalmers.se, compile and produce a .deb.

For myself, I'd still rather have that functionality than depend on M.

Agreed.  It would be good to distinguish between those packages that are
non-free because the author dosn't want to free it, from those packages that
are non-free despite the best effort of the author.

There should be a space between cat and the first forward slash.

I'm not sure why changing it in Synaptic didn't change it in
/etc/apt/sources.list.

If I were you, I'd edit /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor (I
usually use nano) and do one of the following:

1. Add deb  to the front of each of the last three lines that
reference debian-multimedia.org.

2. Comment out each of those last three lines by placing a splat (#) at
the front of the line.

3. Delete the last three lines altogether.

If it'd make you more comfortable, you can backup the sources.list file
first.

Also, these lines are not standard Debian lines to my knowledge. I'm a
tad suspicious of any source that is not official, but then I'm a tad
paranoid.

(PS. Trimming extraneous, no-longer needed stuff out of posts is
generally considered a good thing.)

(PPS. No need to CC: us in addition to sending your replies to the list
itself, since we're already reading the list. We don't need two copies
of each message.)

For etch (testing) alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc packages

 Add in your /etc/apt/sources.list
 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
 or
 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main
/quote

so you have to add the line to the sources.list as given above.
Login as root (or sudo if sudo is configured) and type :

nano /etc/apt/sources.list 

(nano is a simple text editor that comes with Debian)

scroll down to the  line:
 http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch/main Packages

and EDIT it to look like :
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

also its better to delete or comment out the other multimedia.org lines as its 
not a good idea to mix Etch and Sid packages.
to comment a line add a # at the very begining of the line.
eg : 
#  http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid/main Packages

then press CTRL+x to save and exit (it'll ask for confirmation and file name).

After that, as root (or sudo if sudo is configured), type :

apt-get update

to update the repository info and type :

apt-get install libdvdcss2

to install the libdvdcss2
