If you have a fast local network, it's not difficult to play a DVD on one machine and watch the decoded picture on another.

Yes it is. The DVD CCA would never allow digital output of a CSS decoder, and now that the WIPO Copyright Treaty is going/has gone into effect, the whole world can sing it with me: "It's fun to violate D-M-C-A, it's fun to violate D-M-C-A!"
