Yes, I agree, USE flags are a bit fuzzy. Even if legality wasn't a
problem, still it's not accurate to use such a name for an use flag that
adds support for decryption. It's even funnier when you realize that you
don't even need to enable it to play all the dvd's (only encrypted ones).
In such cases, the best thing is to fill an enhancement bug and hope for
the best. I might do that later if I manager to remember it.
