Technically, only DeCSS has been ruled to be illegal in the U.S., and libdvdcss uses a much cruder brute-force method to crack the encryption (because it turns out that CSS encryption is extremely weak), so it's technically not clear whether or not libdvdcss is legal. However, it probably is. In any case, the chances of people being arrested for this are absurdly low, and even the chance of being sued for it is low unless you're distributing copies of what's on the DVD.
