How about a simpler approach: License the freakin' drivers for Linux from the MPAA and play your DVDs. But ... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... you've gotta be drama queens ...

Just one problem: MPAA/RIAA insists on region encoding as part of the standard. We don't accept that, and will go on hacking our DVD players and buying the backstreet Asian models that don't have this "feature" until RIAA goes broke.

I hear ya man. All the bastard grocers around here pull the same sh!t with their food sales. Well to hell with their policies. I'll just keep stealing it, until they either come to their senses and start giving it away, or go broke.

It's for the people, after all.
