note that in germany you can get sued even for putting a link to decss2
on a webpage, since the law here in germany says that you are
advertising a copy protection cracking mechanism through that, i guess
several other countries will handle it the same way, since the RIAA
tries to enforce that law everywhere (the german heise publishing house
had a bunch of lawsuits already, based on this law).

i also very much doubt that its legal to use the microsoft codecs
without applying to any kind of MS EULA for it (which the w32codecs
package in opposite to the msttcorefonts one simply ignores)

this would be cool, but sadly doesnt work in a distribution that commits
to be free forever (like ubuntu) a even better way would be to have a
repository provided by cyberlink to be able to download powerdvd, that
would be a way to work around this drawbacks.
