    most people buy DVD's in MPEG format often encapsulated in CSS encryption.

    maybe people who hang at another site, but not this one. here we borrow DVD's from friends, libraries, Blockbuster, etc, run our DeCSS on them and create nice little VCD's to watch. every day except thursday we give a little one finger salute to the MPAA (that's when we're ready for mind numbing entertainment).

    no wait. what i meant to say was, now that we have DeCSS, i'm buying lots more DVD's than i ever did before i could copy them or download them online! ever since i started using gnutella to d/l movies, my dvd purchasing has went through the roof now that i can preview them before i buy them ;).

    is it only wednesday?
