Are there any specific reasons for not including Google Earth to the partner repository? GE was the only one that wasn't in Google own repository. It's now there but it has over 25 dependencies including build-essentials which made me think that it even isn't a proper package. |

How can I play encrypted DVD movies? Sorry for the delay but I had major issues with internet. The Ubuntu Community Documentation [1] states: "Legal Warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area." For example, VLC's website [2] says that using libcss is legal in France but "In the USA, you should check out the US Copyright Office decision [3] that allows circumvention in some cases."
