dd won't bypass shit. It will dump the entire encrypted image.
Which is what this thread is about, moron.
So yes, they can take advantage of any vagueness in or practical devations from PGC/.VOB structure standards and break existing programs.
That's a complete non-sequitur. It doesn't follow from anything you've said, and isn't backed up by the evidence.
Are you really going to stay with Windows 95 or a 0.0.x kernel just because the current ones aren't "done"?
For things as complex as operating systems, there will never be an end to bugfixing, and computer technology changes, so kernels have to be updated to keep up. The same is
not true for DVD technology, no matter how many times you want to repeat that it does (without the slightest shred of evidence).
How are the makers trying to rip anyone off in that case, other than to try to peddle the full paid-version of DVDFab?
Way to answer most of your own question. By periodically requiring that users download their shit again they're reminded of it. The best tools are the ones you don't notice.
tl;dr: You're a dipshit.
