You can play DVD's legally everywhere except in the some 3rd world country called USA.They have some sort of brutal corporate dictator that has this oppressive DMCA law that's like saying you have no rights to own things that could potentially be used to circumvent the oppression upon ya.
Wtf? some linux way of doing things.Just because you _can_ use a terminal, doesn't mean you have to.What's so hard about that to understand.Why would we need to disable the terminal by default before the idiot kids understand you don't need the terminal! You just have the choice to USE it.
Call me a liar all you want but I have never had a crash and I have never heard any of my friends talk about a crash. I'm not a power user but I regularly use my computer for Email, MS Office, and lots of internet.
I'm sorry, but you are DEFINITELY a liar. There is absolutely no way you've NEVER had a crash.I hate replication, but I had to agree with all the other posters.
EFF Defense Team Files Closing Brief, Aug. 8In their post-trial brief submitted to Judge Lewis Kaplan Tuesday, defendants argue that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") cannot constitutionally limit fair use by denying to the public the tools needed to exercise that right. The First Amendment demands that a fair use defense be read into the statute or that its anticircumvention provision be struck. Moreover, the anticircumvention provision is an unconstitutional burden on the protected speech of DeCSS itself.The eight movie studios argue, in a brief that paints over the constitutional questions, that an injunction against 2600's posting of DeCSS is necessary to preserve their intellectual property from piracy. Both sides now await Judge Kaplan's decision.News reports: Washington Post, CNET News.com, New York Law Journal.Trial Testimony, July 17-25At the end of trial testimony, Judge Lewis Kaplan concluded that DeCSS is expressive speech protected by the First Amendment, whether in source code or an executable binary. In post-trial briefs, the EFF-led defense will urge him to find that the First Amendment does not permit him to enjoin distribution of the code and thatthe DMCA does not give copyright holders unlimited latitude to prevent fair uses of their works.source --> <a class="user" href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/DVD/">http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/DVD/</a>That is the result of the most recent case. decss is not illegal in the usa. Unless someone has more up to date info. I'd really like to see it.

Oh dear, external DVD burner?? Still, always nice to have a few ports spare, in case you want that coffee warmer too.
