[G4] DVD burning..

[sr ferenczy]

i believe, at the moment, it is illegal once you remove the encryption. 
all US court cases lately seem to be siding against the consumer, and 
the process of removing encryption is illegal. CDs are much different, 
and sharing them seems to be the key to illegality.
