It is +intended for software that want to support Blu-ray playback (such as VLC and +MPlayer). We, the authors of this library, do not condone nor endorse piracy. + +This library is simply a tool for playback of Blu-ray movies. Like any tool, the +use of this tool can also be abused. There are already numerous laws in +different countries and juridictions all over the world that protect copyrighted +material, such as Blu-ray movies. With that said, it would have been +inappropriate for us to distribute this library with terms such as "you cannot +use this library for piracy". Instead, we present to everyone this disclaimer. + +As a reminder, here is also the disclaimer found at the beginning of any movie +in relation to copyrights. + +ATTENTION + +International agreement and national laws protect copyrighted motion pictures, +videotapes, and sound recordings. + +UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION, EXHIBITION OR DISTRIBUTION OF COPYRIGHTED MOTION +PICTURES CAN RESULT IN SEVERE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL PENALTIES UNDER THE LAWS OF +YOUR COUNTRY. + +The International Criminal Police Organization - INTERPOL, has expressed its +concern about motion picture and sound recording piracy to all of its member +national police forces. (Resolution adopted at INTERPOL General Assembly, +Stockholm, Sweden, September 8, 1977.)
