(related to DVD playback)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2>For other USA
peeps out there, there appears to be a bill in congress at the moment related
to copy-writtened CDs, encrypted DVDs, and other fair use of media you have
rightfully obtained. Go here (<A
href="http://action.eff.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ADV_homepage">http://action.eff.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ADV_homepage</A>
and click on DMCA reform) and show your support for reforming legislation that
infringes your fair use. <BR><BR>Among other things, this bill seeks to
correct the reason why many distros can't support DVD playback 'out of the
box'. <BR><BR>For those of you who don't give a flip about regulations and are
going to do as you please, you could do the rest of us a favor and support the
possiblity of some good legislation.<BR><BR><BR>-fisher</FONT>
