Hello,
it seems that livna does not have packages for Fedora releases beyond
f21. Can we somehow fix this? Or would it be possible to bring libdvdcss
into rpm fusion?
Best regards,
Julian

Don't know about the reasons anymore why libdvdcss is not in
rpmfusion... But if you want to have it, consider to enable the repo
of Remi Collet:

Probably because of this: http://www.copyright.gov/fedreg/2015/80fr65944.pdf
As I read it, it is still illegal to watch MPAA DVDs with linux in the
US (what a lobby!) And they could go after someone distributing
software that enables watching MPAA DVDs. This, of course, goes WAY
beyond enforcing copyright to my mind, but IANAL.

RPM Fusion is not based in the US, so US laws don't apply. My
understanding is RPM Fusion servers are located in France and as such,
French laws apply.
The organization hosting the code for libdvdcss is Videolan and it is
also based in France. According to them, libdvdcss is legal in France.

Based on this, I would tend to think libdvdcss could be packaged in RPM
Fusion, but IANAL either.
Maybe Videolan could provide some legal guidance on this possibility ?
In the case RPM Fusion would allow libdvdcss, I'd be happy to submit a
review, but this is probably jumping the gun at this point :-)
