If the program is illegal, why is there an image of it sitting right on Wikipedia?

- The image only shows one part of the program. Without the rest, it can't work. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 12:58, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
Making more NPOV
I have toned down the section where the article parrots the old "CSS doesn't stop piracy" argument by pointing out that CSS does stop casual copies of DVDs to DVD+/-R blanks. Samboy 17:14, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- BTW, the act of copying a DVD to DVD-R is perfectly legal. Piracy involves stealing and/or distribution of stolen goods. CSS has certainly been proven not to prevent piracy. What it does do is prevent the consumer from their legal right to make a personal copy. --Thoric 22:08, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Under the WIPO Copyright Treaty, it is illegal to bypass copyright protection, or to distribute something that's meant to do so. This partially supercedes previous personal-copy laws. The treaty is implemented in the U.S. with the DMCA, in the EU with the EUCD, and in various other places with other laws. Most of the world signed the WCT. There's no place for clear-cut violations of it on Wikipedia. —Simetrical (talk) 17:12, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
