I can't help keeping wondering if this MAA is missing the point completely: why would someone need the decryption to make a _copy_ ? A copy is a copy and it appears to me that the encrypted bits written on the disk surface could be copied just exactly as well as the decrypted bits. Probably the real reason they start this activity is because otherwise they would lose some kind of royalties from the DVD-players manufacturers. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
