Please, excuse my grammar.
When you buy a dvd player at the store, you bought the rights to decode movies that you rent or buy using that dvd.
On a computer it works differently.
VlC play encoded dvd maybe illegal in the U.S. and Canada because it decodes them without paying a fee. Just search for watching dvd is illegal on Linux. This would also apply to windows 10 windows media player because Microsoft removed the feature that plays dvds. Using VLC with DVD codec on any system in the U.S. and Canada maybe illegal. I keep saying maybe because no one has be charged or convicted. However, the creator of libDVDcss was either arrested or detained but never charged.
