security systems are weak, but they are also complex. I mean, they
include many layers but none of them is hard to break. You can read
about the current progress in many places like this:

As with DVD's, this has nothing to do with DRM (which is implemented
via the disc data, the player and the drive working together), and the
technical process is mostly the same as ever. Although there are still
no graphical tools by now, you can do it in Trisquel using this:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvdrw -R -J /some/files
growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw=dvd_image.iso
