This is simply not true, This is where you need to talk to a lawyer, but in short:
1. If you OWN the content OR have bought the RIGHTS to the video it is not illegal to short circuit the DeCSS encryption. example, I go out and Talk to the studio, and secure the rights to a DVD (actually a movie), like "Debbie does dallas" or "Gladiator", then I have the right to circumvent the encryption for any purpose described in the licensing agreement.
2. you have the right to make a digital copy of any item you have purchased (including DVD's). Technically it is illegal to copy or decrypt a dvd you have not purchased.
3. 9/10 of all adult dvd's do not have copy protection.. most adult manufactures either don't care enough to use it, aren't smart enough to know how, or it just costs to much to do. plus most adult dvd's do not have regional encoding. Meaning I can play a dvd bought in new york just as well as the dvd i bought in LA. (non adult studio titles have regional encoding)
If you had the rights and built a way to decrypt, rip, and encode this is nothing more then you using the tools you have if you don't have the original source.
anyways.. Al stick to what you know best! Shooting naked women! it suits you better.
