To distribute some mechanism to avoid copy protection such as DRM is illegal in Japanese law (Unfair Competition Prevention Act) since 2012. It means that putting libdvdcss package into Debian repository causes problems in Japan, and most of organization that provides Debian mirror will _stop_ mirroring for Debian. Maybe libdvdcss is okay in other area, but not here in Japan. So please, don't take mirrors away from Japan... -- Regards, Hideki Yamane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
