Sony isn't the only maker of DVDs that has goo in them that will confuse 
libdvdcss.  

In a nut shell, in many places it's illegal to use 'nonauthorized' tools (like 
libdvdcss) to decrypt DVDs for any purpose (including playback).  On top of 
that, the underlying tool used by nearly everything that reads movie DVDs on 
FreeBSD (libdvdcss) is unmaintained by anyone upstream, as time goes on more 
and more dvds are released that it either can't decrypt or are able to choke 
it.
