Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
"Just watch us :) Disney etc. won't stop until a corporation can copyright a work permanently." This is just plain sad, that is why Captialism has become such an object of horror for me. as for disney, screw them and every other corporation that wants copyright to get more powerful. What we really need is copyright to be reduced to 35 years or less and have no backdoors to add more time, aka bribes to keep it going longer than 35 years. That would be my thought, although maybe 20 is more reasonable... without spyware built in of course! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
Package libdvd-pkg does not contain any libraries. It's an installer that uses wget to download the source code, then compiles the source code. It uses Videolan's repositories. It makes the process somewhat easier as there is no need to add any third party repositories.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
> Because of the unclear law status in some countries. Can such FOSS packages be put in an external repository immune to US and EU regulations? E.g. a closer cooperation between Trisquel and Uruk could be beneficial in this regard for both parties. Uruk and Trisquel can make use of each other's repositories. This strategy had been successfully employed in the past, when export of certain cypto packages were forbidden by the US government - affected packages were simply served from non-US based repositories.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
The installer asks if the user wants to get automated updates. I guess it won’t work if manually installed. But the bigger question that boggles my mind: why not include this package in Trisquel? Unfree or encumbered?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
Ah. I'd much rather use the APT repository to install it from. Then I'll get updates. https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
"...assume you mean libdvdread4..." No, I mean libdvd-pkg. That's the latest way to get the libdvdcss and other stuff. It's been that way since Ubuntu 15.04 I guess. It's an installer. It takes care of the rest. Easy as pie. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libdvd-pkg https://askubuntu.com/questions/743221/instructions-for-installing-libdvdcss-on-ubuntu-15-10
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
Trisquel has never provided libdvdcss itself. There is an easy way to install it though because the VideoLAN people have their own repo: https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
"I can’t find libdvd-pkg" I assume you mean libdvdread4, and not libdvd-pkg. Because libdvdread4 does exist.

> 70 years + life of the author... That would already be absurd. Unfortunately it is even more complicated than that. Works published after 1923 are copyrighted in the US regardless of when the author died. For example, Kafka died in 1924, almost 100 years ago. With life + 70, all of his works would be public domain. If works *written* before 1923 were public domain than almost all of his works will be public domain. However, because much of his work was *published* posthumously (around 1925 IIRC), it is has a publication date later than 1923 and is still under copyright. > seriously, could america be anymore corporate?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
Interesting, but yeah, whether or not it is illegal, in usa, I don't support america's copyright laws because they are absolutely absurd. 70 years + life of the author... seriously, could america be anymore corporate? Or corpse for that matter... Because corporations, contrary to right wing belief, are dead inside...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
No, VLC would only show the title menu and then quietly exit. Mpc won't play either (mpv dvd://). Libdvd-pkg must be fetched and configured to get the libraries. I downloaded the package from Ubuntu Packages. https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libdvd-pkg sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg Then both VLC and mpv will happily play anything thrown at them.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libdvd-pkg Trisquel 8
Would VLC do the job? I know vlc has some support for that.
