playing encrypted dvd and playing dvd without region set

[Raphael Zulliger]

hi

today i've found a homepage 
http://www.prout.be/dvd/
where tools can be downloaded to play encrypted dvd and play dvds
without having set a region code to the dvd drive.
i rember there was something about that in this mailinglist some weeks
ago, but i can't exactly remeber about the result of the topic.

my question: why don't you patch videolan so this additional package
would be useless? are there some disadvantages if you do that?

thanks, raphael
