Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: Update "Enable DVD Playback"

[t . schieber]

thank you monk of chaos to have clarified this important point: not to refer  
to non-free software in this wiki. In fact the videolan repository for  
libdvcss2 is free software.

Draconian laws indeed, how can they be considered free trade agreements? They  
are clear not free at all. DCMA is evil anyways.

You forgot about importing the key.

wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo  
apt-key add -

OK everyone!

I've updated it on the documentation. Could someone overview and improve, and  
if OK, a translation?

Not only the Unites States, don't forget the so-called "Free Trade  
Agreements". USA can impose draconian laws like DMCA on other countries.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: Update "Enable DVD Playback"

DMCA is the reason libdvdcss must be a separate dowload. If Ubuntu can  
include libdvd-pkg, so can Trisquel. Is there anything to prevent this  
freedomwise?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: Update "Enable DVD Playback"

[xliang9550]

My only concern is that libdvdcss might violate DMCA (Domination by Media  
Company Act) in the United States...


So be careful to enable it by default.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: Update "Enable DVD Playback"

Trisquel should take up Ubuntu's libdvd-pkg method. Libdvd-pkg has been there  
since Ubuntu 15.10.


Until it does, use the Videolan repo method.

It does work; I use it.

One of the thing I first noticed about Trisquel is that libdvdcss is  
unsupported. Thankfully we have a wiki page dedicated to installing it, But  
the shell script noted on the wiki is no longer present in T8.0.


I did some digging and noticed that the VideoLAN page has a Debian repo with  
it. First we should test if this installation method works, then update the  
wiki accordingly.
