I don't see the point of this rant, CSS and DRM have existed for a long
time and this rant should have been brought up years ago, and I repeat
years go. It's a pointless moot subject to even bring up now.

Maybe try running: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

I know a lot of people have problems running DVD's that have CSS and are
DRM encrypted and even tried installing the "Codec" to play them back, I
myself had the same problem, until I ran that SH script that is included
with Ubuntu by default.
