repositories

Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't provide libdvdcss in repositories so you need to add vlc ppa to the sources.list so you can download it.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
curl ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

extra repositories no longer necessary

Before you had to

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /' && wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

Now you dont need to add the videolan repository and do it manually. The package libdvdread4 now includes a script that downloads and installs libdvdcss2 for you.
