<PRE>Le mardi 12 octobre 2010 &#224; 17:53 +0200, Olivier M&#233;jean a &#233;crit :

&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; == And DVDCSS, etc?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> What's in etc ?
</I>&gt;<i> However, here in France we have a law &quot;Dadvsi&quot; on which the Conseil 
</I>&gt;<i> Constitutionnel (something like American Suprem Court) has statuted that the 
</I>&gt;<i> law could not prevent exception of decompilation and the exception of 
</I>&gt;<i> circumvention of DRM if this is for interoperability. In other words the use 
</I>&gt;<i> of libdvdcss is allowed for interoperability.
</I>&gt;<i> So for me, Mageia can come with libdvdcss and other tools for interoperability
</I>
And for the people hosting mirrors outside of France ?

Shall we forget them ?

&gt;<i> About codec, you may know that VLC is based in France and hosts some projects 
</I>&gt;<i> useful for interoperability. Since the start of the project in 1996, i don't 
</I>&gt;<i> remember VLC being sued for such projects. So let's provide codec by default 
</I>&gt;<i> with Mageia for a better &quot;user experience&quot; :)
</I>
&quot;no one has been sued yet&quot; is not a real argument.

No one sued mplayer developers for distributing binary copyrighted
codecs. No one sued <A HREF="http://www.dll-files.com/">http://www.dll-files.com/</A> , despites distributing
windows dlls. 

Yet, what they do is a clear violation of various copyright treaties.

So no, the fact that no one has been sued is not a reason to do the
same.
