"PowerDVD also includes a Content Scrambling System (CSS) decoder that 
supports copyright protection and circumvents data piracy. CyberLink 
actively sought and received approval from the DVD Copy Control 
Association (DVD CCA) to legally include the decryption algorithms for 
Linux users."

It is not a free program and it is not open source.  If you want to 
watch an encrypted DVD _legally_ then you must buy a DRM enabled program 
(such as PowerDVD) or use another operating system.

according to Linux Business Week:

&quot;Tokyo-based Turbolinux, which is in the throes of changing owners and 
going more retail, says it's got what it calls a new desktop Linux 
operating system designed for home users that includes a media player 
capable of streaming pure Windows Media-format audio and video.

Umm, that's Windows Media format as in Microsoft, the Evil Empire. As in 
licensed. As in negotiating a deal with them. As in bowing to 
Microsoft's superior position and reinforcing it.

Ironically, the Windows Media Player is the thing the European 
regulators have ordered Microsoft to strip out of Windows.&quot;

Interesting reads.
