Hi Israel, I think you should make it the way you think it will be convenient for the end user :-) If you think it is appropriate, use a dialog that explicitly asks the user if they want to use the css decryption library. I think the mulitmedia companies and lawyers are more aggressive in your country than in mine, so make something that you think is OK.
