Copy protected CDs is probably a grey area, because you don't need to work around the copy protection in playback hardware... > One solution is to host the runtime in a country which has not such > restrictions, or tell people to get and compile their own mplayer if > they want to watch DVDs, and distribute an mplayer without DeCSS.

That's not actually necessary. mplayer shouldn't be linked directly to dvdcss, but to dvdread which is in turn linked to dvdcss. On Debian, for example, the official archives only distribute dvdread, but you can get dvdcss and use it without a recompile. > DMCA in USA *is* that stupid too, AFAIK.
