Yet they don't want us to watch legally-bought DVD

I saw one of Disney's animation studio offices full of cubicles a few years back at Walt Disney World, and sure enough, every computer was sporting the KDE 3.0 desktop. I'd recognize it anywhere. HOWEVER....



How ironic that Hollywood studios are using GNU/Linux and even contributing to some F/OSS projects (FilmGIMP, for example)...


<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...but those same Hollywood GNU/Linux-using studios don't want us to watch our legally-purchased DVDs on GNU/Linux! They try to sue us--even bring criminal charges against us--when we attempt to do so (e. g. "DVD Jon" Johansen). Might as well outlaw photocopiers or cameras....
