Most cops are more interested in fighting actual crimes instead of arresting people for watching DVDs with mplayer, but the RIAA would much rather they arrest mplayer users :-) According to the DMCA it's illegal to possess code that can circumvent copy protection, which is exactly what mplayer has to do in order to play a DVD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA Cheers, Adam. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
