I don't know about you, but I don't have a 139 gigabyte hard drive laying around... Without hardware compression (and mjpeg really sucks, I've seen it in action), you're SOL for doing any kind of real work. with DeCSS all you need is 9gigs or so

I believe there was a recent sound test comparing 128k MP3, CD, and other codecs in 128k. Most of the listeners could not tell the difference, and half were professionals in the music hardware business. I used to think CDs sounded so much better then mp3s to, until I tried comparing the two directly and found out music from my CD-ROM drive was a lot louder then music coming of my WaveOut.
The only way to really test is to rip a CD track, compress it with a good encoder and then expand the mp3 back to wav. Then play them both without knowing witch is witch. Until then, shut up.
And minidiscs are not CD quality.

I don't think many 'leet haxors are going to spend "Under $1000" to share movies with there frends.
They will go and spend $0 for DeCSS though. I'm not saying that the DVD consortium is right in there suit though. Just that there justified in there fear.

Have you ever tried to capture a movie like that? you need special eqipment. MJPEG quality sucks at low bitrates, and MPEG hardware is really exspensive. And don't tell me you can do it with a simple video in. I've got one. Do you know how large a raw-uncompressed 2 hour movie would be? well it would be a lot more then 9gigs, let me tell you. The only way you could really do it would be to split the file up in smal bits, compress each one and stick them together. That could take DAYS with current MPEG compression speed.
With DeCSS, you rip, and let your computer compress overnight. No special hardware needed.

I don't think that these people are really worried about "real" piracy, but people making exsponential copys for there frends.
If it's posible, as it soon will be, for one person to simply e-mail movies to there frends, who would otherwise buy the copy, movie companies lose a large number of people.
I mean, yes its not an exact clone. I'm pretty sure that most people only care if the movie is the same.

Where did you get the idea that human minds are not predictable? They are based on very simple, completly determistic, rules. The reason we can't predict them now is beacuse we don't have enough computational power. 30 years from now that won't be the case.
Human minds are just simple turing machines. This means that everything they do is utterly predictable. The very essence of being conscious is an ability to behave in a random fashion, also known as free will. Human minds will never have free will and will never be conscious, not in their present Turing Machine form, anyway.
It is for the best, anyway. I don't want to be superceded mentally and made redundant, like the industrial revolution made my muscles redundant. So I am very glad conscious minds are impossible. It would be dangerous for us if they were.
but if there was a player made that allowed you to save a movie to an MPEG file as you played it (which is entirely possible) then every 3l|t3 haxor around could rip movies to MPEGs.
MPEG is an asyncrnous compression scheme, it takes much longer to compress a video then it does to decompress. You can't save mpeg in real time, just like you can't record directly to MP3.

CSS won't stop that. Just use an authorized window$ player, and grab the frame buffer out of the video card with a driver hooked into the vertical blanking interrupt. From there, it's just a matter of softwere re-encoding into MPEG and re-sampling the framerate (trivial) to exactly reproduce the unencoded contents of the disk.
Well, that will work great for the video, but you'll loose frames if the VSinc isn't right (60fps movie on a 75hz monitor=bad), and you'll also have to manualy sync the audio.

At some stage the algorithm is used/executed so the steps can be seen. With the algorithm and one key, the remainder of the keys can be trivially found by brute force.
That parts wrong, you would need to repeat the process for each key. The reason the other CSS keys were found so quickly was beacse they were only 40-bit keys. 128bit keys would cause some serious problems...
