Not once did I say I steal their movies. I said I did not buy them.

How is it harming their rights to have a DVD viewable under Linux?

I'm sorry if I implied you advocated stealing. That certainly wasn't my intention.

I also realize the Linux situation is not so much a copyright conflict as it is a battle about reverse engineering and the legal protection of trade secrets, which is what the DVD industry considers its encryption scheme to be.

In that sense I would say that the jury's still out (maybe even literally?) on what's right and wrong. Is anybody actually being threatened with jail time, though? Isn't this all civil court stuff?
