As I said, there are some bits which for reasons of local laws or 
precedent, or because the repository is
not up to date, that the packages you want or need due to dependencies 
are not available.

Norway tried twice to prosecute "DVD Jon" for writing dvdcss. They 
failed in the end.

So Norway seems to me to be an "enlightened" place to get such software 
from..
