How is an emulator different from things like libdvdcss? (videolan lib used to break DVD protection). Or is libdvdcss still illegal in the US? Because I feel it's the same, in both cases I want to be able to play things (movies or games) I legally acquired.
- moefh 2y agoI don't think it's different, there's a note about it on VLC's wiki: https://wiki.videolan.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions/#Is_libdvdcss_legal.3F https://wiki.videolan.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions/#Is_lib...
- boomboomsubban 2y agoThere are Library of Congress approved reasons to bypass DVD DRM, putting libdvdcss in a gray area. Any exemptions that could apply to emulators either expired or are limited in scope to things not being sold. Your use of libdvdcss is almost certainly illegal under US law though, as absurd and ridiculous as that is.
