"Windows Vista includes an array of 'features' that you don't want. These features will make your computer less reliable and less secure. They'll make your computer less stable and run slower. They will cause technical support problems. They may even require you to upgrade some of your peripheral hardware and existing software. And these features won't do anything useful. In fact, they're working against you. They're digital rights management features built into Vista at the behest of the entertainment industry. And you don't get to refuse them."

> It's not Vista's fault if the DVDs are problematic.
In fact it is. DVD is just DVD, a standard format. There is no executable code there. The problem is in the way it is interpreted, and that's Vista.

I can have a PC with legal operating system, and a DVD that has been purchased legaly, and if I use DVDCSS library to watch it, that is illegal in some countries.
If I payed them what they asked for, how can they say that it is illegal ? Because I COULD capture the output and create a copy ? That is a bit like "Minority Report" movie, where people are prosecuted based on their future crimes that actually never happened.
As a matter of fact, DVDCSS was never challenged in court.
