Internet?  This web page gives 42 examples of ways to download the DeCSS

"This page is about distributing DeCSS, the famous CSS descrambler which
the MPAA tries to stop being distributed but which is also the only
program available out there which lets you play DVDs under various
operating systems such as Linux or FreeBSD."
