[vdr] Re: CI / CAM module in software

[René Bartsch <rene@bartschnet.de>]

The "Zugangskontrolldiensteschutz-Gesetz" is the situation at at the moment,
but until decembre germany and all other EU-countries have to introduce a
new law ordered by EU, which prohibits to use or have any software or
hardware which work-arounds scrambling systems.

Goodbye "libdvdcss" and "libdvdread" ...  :-(

Goodbye Linux and DVD ...        :-(

So, we Linux users will all become super-criminals ... :-(            (Do
they have enough prisons in europe?)
