It is a proprietary copy protection --> most open source software is not 
interested very much to keep pace with this development.

See DRM ... ;-)

As you seem more to be a user then a developer my tip is
to use proprietary software to disable them:
I believe "anydvd" will be able to disable the copy 
protection (for your personal usage) and then you can 
access the DVD like any normal (unprotected) dvd.

Don't know if anydvd might run with wine also under linux.

Hope this helps.
