Legal Wrangling Continues
In an effort to keep this page focused we have moved all of the "news
items" to their own
page. News will continue to be posted on the page you're reading now,
but only when something truly significant happens.
For the latest news we suggest you visit OpenDVD.org.
Mirror this page!
Somebody asked us if they could mirror this page -- PLEASE DO! Be
sure to report your mirror to this
page.
Explanation on legality of this information
The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be
freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public
License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of
DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to
program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be
incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content
scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player.
The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not
prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an
encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and
binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code
from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this
site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering
methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Numbers are only for the maintainer's convenience
We apologize for the length of time between updates. This list has gotten quite large and thus more difficult to maintain.
Much thanks to this site for listing mirrors of the mirror lists.
