	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.
