But there is a difference here. The copy protection on DVDs hasn't ever
gone away. In fact, people don't seem to care about it. It is true that you
can pretend that CSS was never created but only if you are willing to break
the law. That's not the same as the other copy protection measures which
people outright rejected leading the company to go out of business or remove
the protection. Note I'm not arguing the protection is good or useful, just
that it is still there.
