Comment Create a program so you don't need deCSS (Score 2) 492
I have never used a windoze DVD player (yet) but..
I would think it would be easy to create a virtual DVD drive, that looks like a normal DVD drive to a licenced DVD player but actually stores everything
on a harddisk.
Would the MPAA jump up and down about this? It does not break the encryption. You could argue that it does not even circumvent the copy protection/access control.
This would allow all the evil things that deCSS supposidly does, and probably be legal?
(or which bit is illegal - reading the disk? storing the disk? playing the disk?)
