"You know I was thinking about you the other day. Wanted to throw something by you. The new Mint 20 comes with a simple video player called “Celluloid”. It does not copy, just plays. You can get it through the Ubuntu/Mint repository and I am sure they accept donations. Just wanted to share that with you. :)"

If it does not copy, just plays then how it is any different from a streaming service or VLC player for Linux and Windows? I think Jet audio for Windows to be the best free audio-video player for Ripping, Conversion, Recording and burning (but who does the latter now?). But the cloudy legal issues for playing restricted formats remain.

It is just a Linux utility to play DVDs and CDs without copy capabilities. While it will play downloaded video and sound files, Or self made content, I would think that a little self policing about where you source those would be on you to do or not do with protected content?

I am having trouble exactly understanding the full issue I guess. Every car will allow you to drive intoxicated. But does this mean you should never get a car because it will? Or just use a car with moral self responsibly? It is just a universal tool. How you use that tool is up to you right?
