As i am a Norwegian citizen, the "DVD-Jon" trial (the guy who wrote
DeCSS and got sued by about every american film organization - and won.)
proved that it is legal for me as a norwegian in Norway to give you info
on this. Unless ofcource our loved
privatize-everything-and-make-love-to-the-EU-behind-the-people's-back
governement decides to drag patent law in through the door...

You need (lib)DeCSS to decrypt those DVD's. But make sure you don't get
caugth reading other peoples mail (as this is the paragraph they tried
to frame Jon Johansen with...)
