| Cyberlink license revoked
Read the article. I can't believe that an organization can revoke the license for cyberlink and actually cause cyberlink to "flip a switch" to disable the blue ray dvd playing software on users machines. It would majorly suck if you paid for it, and then later on, you couldn't use it. I would be asking for a major refund!
Yet another reason why I am glad I have waited for the HD DVD / Blue Ray war to complete. |

This is what you get for buying software.
You get screwed.
You can't use powerdvd to play certain DVDs on vista, but VLC works.
Unless there is no feasable alternative, legally Free software > other software by far.
Do you have to connect to the internet to constantly validate your machine and software in order for it to work? I can't think of any other way for cyberlink to do something like this.
It's disgusting that there even is a war in the first place. Imagine if you will that there were no HDCP, DRM, and encryption. How much faster would technology move along? How much cheaper would it be? How much quicker would people adopt it?
It's sad to see paranoia consistently beating common sense. |
