DVDs are "decryptable" under non-(Windows|Mac) platforms. Certain large
corporate interests would like you to believe that the (freely available)
source code allowing you to do this is or should be illegal (actually, I'm
not sure what the licensing status of DeCSS is), but I don't think any sane
person (with > half a brain) finds them remotely convincing.
