Re: [LINUX_Newbies] running 12.04 & cant play dvds

 

Luckily, I used Puppy, since it can be ejected to play a DVD on a HP laptop without a hard drive controller that was able to use an internal hard drive. Since it doesn't boot USB, I had to use PLoP later to boot the Linux that I eventually installed to an external hard disk.
If I have a legally bought DVD, I feel it can be played how I see fit. I think the government is just too slow to fix this, since many parts of governments are now using Linux, too, and less are feeding the M$ banks than most think. After all Win8 isn't catching on either.

This was a shocker ........

BOOKMARK

*Why Watching DVDs on Linux is Illegal in the USA*

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes unlocking cell phones,

ripping DVDs, removing eBook DRM, and jailbreaking tablets illegal in

the USA. However, there's another surprise: simply watching a DVD on

Linux is also illegal. ....
