Could somebody be very nice and explain to me the situation of media on Linux at the moment? I've tried looking it up, but some of the information I've read has been conflicting. Essentially, I'm not entirely sure about the legality of using the different formats on Linux.
So far as I understand, in order to watch (most) DVDs, you need to bypass the CSS protection (or whatever it is), which is illegal in some countries. Is it legal in the UK? (Since the articles I read only mentioned the US, which wasn't particularly helpful)
Also, is it legal to use w32codecs?
Thanks for any advice
Mike.
