Cyberlink, the company that markets PowerDVD (http://gocyberlink.com) has a download available for Cyberlink PowerCinema for Linux. This is the only page I can find showing that the Linux product exists. Here's the license info. http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/companybg/pcmlinuxgpl.jsp The download page for the open source components: http://download.gocyberlink.com//ftpdload/linux/source/PCMLinux_GPL_sources.zip The product page for PowerCinema is here: http://www.gocyberlink.com/multi/products/product_main.jsp?ProdId=12 They evidently sell PowerCinema for Linux with Cyberlink's licensed dvdcss component. If so, that would certainly solve the Linux issues for MP3 & DVDs. The other question - how do you buy it? If anyone is familiar with this company or lives in Taiwan and can determine how to get to them, please help us in finding out how to buy this product. Or better still, get them to make it available for Linux users off their website. The question for me is: can we finally win this game? Tom
