In Ubuntu 16.04 they changed a way to install libdvdcss2.

Install it by

sudo apt install libdvd-pkg

and follow on-screen directions.

I'd like to make a Copy of a DVD using Brasero Disc Burner.

It says I can't do it because I haven't got libdvdcss.so.2 (Library), which I should install manually.

I tried
```
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
```
and then
```
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh 
```
but the immediate output is
```
sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh: command not found
```
How should I install libdvdcss.so.2 manually?

Is it possible that it could compromise my computer?

I wrote how to accept the license. And your question about "compromise" is not clear.

Should I accept the agreement, could it compromise my computer?

Yes, accept it. Why compromise?

I cannot accept it. I press ENTER and nothing happens

To be honest, this answer suggests to install a lot more proprietary stuff than what is needed.

@NEven navigate by Tab button, then press Enter.
