<P> The VLC media player software installers for the macOS platform and the Windows platform include the libdvdcss DVD decryption library, even though this library may be legally restricted in certain jurisdictions . </P> <P> The VLC media player software is able to read audio and video data from DVDs that incorporate Content Scramble System (CSS) encryption, even though the VLC media player software lacks a CSS decryption license . The unauthorized decryption of CSS - encrypted DVD content or unauthorized distribution of CSS decryption tools may violate the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act . Decryption of CSS - encrypted DVD content has been temporarily authorized for certain purposes (such as documentary filmmaking that uses short portions of DVD content for criticism or commentary) under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act anticircumvention exemptions that were issued by the US Copyright Office in 2010 . However these exemptions do not change the DMCA's ban on the distribution of CSS decryption tools like VLC . </P>
