Anyone who sets his mind to it, and wastes enough time on it, can figure it out. Breaking cipher messages is another thing! If I was an NSA employee, I would not write this (and would probably have more money in my account ;-)

In fact, if your project offers a challenge that the operator would like to work on (i.e. it's film, and the operator usually works in video, or a shot that will look particularly good in the operator's reel), you may find the operator quite eager.

Why is CSS necessary?

DVD CCA Welcomes you!
Without sufficient protections, movie studios would not have offered their copyrighted films to consumers in this high quality digital format. Because they are 'digital', DVDs can be used as a perfect master for an infinite number of exact copies if the master is not protected by a system like CSS. Without such protection, movie content manufacturers would hesitate to release their products, including movies, because they would risk easy illegal copying. Absolutely.
