And they won't sell you a license unless you configure the software on the DVD player a certain way (honor DVD region codes and User Operation Prohibitions on certain DVD chapters). --Pmsyyz 20:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the average Joe doesn't go looking on the internet for a program to de-css a disk, so that he can copy it. For most it's too much work, too involved, or they are afraid of the MPAA, if anything this article needs a section on fair-use and backing up your disks

message: Shouldn't this article be titled "Content Scrambling System"?  "Scramble" doesn't make sense, grammatically or historically.  algocu 19:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is known, officially, as the Content Scramble System. It is not an incorrect title. Just because it doesn't make sense to you does not mean that it is wrong. System names tend to be like that - only making sense to their designers. --Jmccormac 05:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: ...which could be brute-forced by a 450Mhz processor in less than a minute. Ironically, a 450MHz processor was stated...
I'm sure the statistic on brute force used a 450MHz processor because it was the industry-stated minimum, in which case, there's no irony here. This part should be rewritten. Dansiman (talk|Contribs) 16:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Adding the block size to the infobox put this in the block cipher category. CSS is a strange cipher in that it encrypts sector-by-sector (2048 bytes each), that is it has a block size, but it is still a stream cipher in that one bit changed in the ciphertext changes one bit in the plaintext, that is, it is vulnerable to a bit-flipping attack. 174.111.239.203 (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing from block cipher category while still keeping block size in infobox 

message: The statement "however, most region 0 (all region) DVDs do not make use of it.", already marked citation needed, should be removed. There is no such thing as "Region 0"; it's a slang term at best and the proper term is "all region". Aside from there being no cite, the statement as written doesn't even attempt to explain why region coding would be related to the decision to use CSS. Occasionally commercial discs are all region due to licensing decisions, but that doesn't imply that CSS isn't used (even though of course that is also a possibility). If the statement is instead supposed to be an implication that certain categories of discs, such as homemade discs, or bootleg discs, which also happen to be "Region 0" (to use the incorrect term), don't use CSS, it should state that explicitly, rather than tie it to region coding. 216.243.36.196 (talk) 09:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I had a closer look at the content scramble system (see GitHub) and updated the article. There might be inconsistencies that I do not see and I'm also no native speaker. Hence, a review would be highly appreciated! Helo2804 (talk) 11:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
