Re: [Trisquel-users] Privacy weakness in Trisquel

The problem with DRM is that some laws, namely those that implement the WIPO  
copyright treaty (such as the DMCA in the United States), forbid  
circumventing it. DeCSS has been expressly ruled to be illegal, in violation  
of the DMCA. libdvdcss hasn't, but it probably would be if it was brought to  
court. It uses a brute-force method to crack the encryption.

It's not wrong to break the handcuffs. The law is wrong when breaking the  
handcuffs is illegal. But you shouldn't just accept it, and ideally you  
should refuse to give your money to people and corporations who insist on  
putting handcuffs on you, even if you do possess a method to break them (and  
if you don't possess a method to break the handcuffs, you should never accept  
the thing that comes with digital handcuffs at all, even as a gift).
