libdvdcss2 circumvents the CSS encryption found on DVDs. Circumvention is not legal in many countries even if it is for use of legally owned DVDs. A distribution can not make a choice for user when it is legal matter.
This is not same as flashplugin-nonfree. There is no question of legality in case of flash plugin provided by Adobe. Apart from that, libdvdread3 is already a dependency of gstreamer0.10 -plugins-bad. Also libdvdnav4 will be a dependency of gstreamer0.10 -plugins-bad, by the time intrepid is released. So Gstreamer, which is default backend for totem, will have full support for playing non- encrypted (region-free) DVDs provided all plugins were installed. -- Totem should notify users about installing libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2 to read encrypted DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
