Comment 6 for bug 760981

Brendan Donegan: erm, are you serious that you invalidated this just because it isn't 'simple'??? LOL!

Thankyou C de-Avillez, you hit the nail right on the head :D

To clarify further, I didn't say anything about putting libdvdcss2 on any disk... the disk insert part of my stuff above was inserting a DVD - a movie or something.

 libdvdread4 is in the repos and can be installed from there with the user's wish. The difference will be that instead of every user who wants to watch a DVD currently has to hit forums, google, find pages like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs then follow the instructions there which are:

Open a terminal and put:
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
(enter your password when prompted)
once that is installed, next put into the terminal:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
A reboot may be necessary...

what should happen is:
a pop-up comes up when they put a DVD movie in their drive for the first time, they read a bit of legal guff, then click an OK button and Ubuntu does the above for them, or they can check a "Never ask me again" checkbox and click cancel.

It is then the USER's choice/responsibility, and nothing to do with Ubuntu/Caconical see?
This is along the same legal lines as an "I confirm I am over 18" checkbox in some age limited videos for instance.

If you think that isn't simple, perhaps programming isn't for you! A popup window with some writing, and OK and cancel buttons, and a small script is all that is needed to FIX this BUG once and for all.

Good luck in fixing this big guys :) and extra credit to C de-Avillez for including the word 'blurb' :D
