I believe our users deserve to know why they can't have "normal" libdvdcss.
We could quote wikipedia:

"due to fears of running afoul of DMCA-style laws" etc.

I'm open to the suggestions of better warnings.

You're right, link to upstream page is worth mentioning.

I think that won't be right to do. The idea is build a normal package which
