Could we just "steal" it?
If they develop code, that should be GPLed but dont publish, it should not be too hard to get someone i China to deliver it. There would be thousands of hackers with access to the source code, and they would be smart enough to get it out without being caught.

So now I can watch DVD using free software. But can I (or a small studio) produce a DVD movie that can be viewed on all DVD players without a licence from DVDCA? Is the encryption mandatory? If not, could we hope that it would be abandoned by at least some producers of DVDs?
