reads:

  Matsushita licenses the CSS encruption technology free of charge:
  contact CSS Interim License Orgnization, 2-15 Matsuba-cho, Kadoma,
  Osaka 571 Japan, 81-6-905-4155, fax 81-6-901-9299.

That being the case, one need simply obtain the spec.  Presumably the
licensor can provide a CSS spec independent of the $5000 DVD spec book
set sold by Toshiba at a substantially lower cost.
