[clue-tech] Full legal DVD playback yet?

[Brian Gibson]

Order a Dell w/Linux which ships with LinDVD.  Joe Business probably already does.

Hrmmm...

/me hates topic drift.

I appreciate the "how to play DVDs on Linux" links, but I really want a supported chunk
of closed-source, legal, supported software I can recommend to Joe Business if possible.

For reasons I disagree with, our legal system prohibits creation of open-source software
that "just plays everything"...  God forbid we should learn how to write our own DVD
playback software or devices.  F*ing morons we elect and f*ing morons they appoint. 
Hmm...  I think we have some accountability in here somewhere, but that's a chat for
CLUE-talk, I suppose.
