</I>><i> Yes, but there is a third group: software which may be illegal to be
</I>><i> used in certain countries. This has nothing to do with free or
</I>><i> non-free. For example, friends of the movie industry claim that
</I>><i> libdvdcss is illegal in Germany, other legal experts claim just the
</I>><i> opposite. This issue never went to court because IMO the movie

</I>><i> France). So they keep publishing FUD about this and it's up to the
</I>><i> user to decide which side he thinks is right - not a good idea in a
</I>><i> legal issue.
</I>
There have been a trial in Finland <A HREF="http://www.turre.com/2007/05/finnish-court-">http://www.turre.com/2007/05/finnish-court-</A>
rules-css-protection-used-in-dvds-ineffective where the court declare that css
protection was ineffective where european legislation EUCD says that it was
illegal to circumvent effective protection.
In France a group called stopdrm who wanted to test our judicial system about
the question of DRM, there was no trial since the attorney closed the case (in
french "classé sans suite")
So i think we can say for European Union that libdvdcss is legal (i take the
risk to say it !)
Maybe a workaround would be to use timezone to determine the country and for
some country disable the installation of codec and other nice things.
