Re: Ouch
Most of the MPAA member studious are now supporting Blu-Ray because they believe it has a better copy protection scheme (BD+ - modifiable encryption).
It's ridiculous to have our lives made so dependent on these people. It is sad that it has come to this. Time to unplug and seek entertainment elsewhere. |

"The HD DVD camp plans to put an audio watermark in theatrical releases and circuits into your HD DVD player that will recognize such a watermark. Consequently, if you manage to tape a movie in the theater despite night vision goggles and stiff prison sentences, your player won't play the recording or any HD DVD you make from it. But the best part is just about to come: they plan to also watermark regular HD DVD releases. Now imagine your camera running while a HD DVD is playing. You don't even need to record the movie, but then once you make a HD DVD from your DV tape, your player won't play it. Now we just need the onscreen menu to send a couple of bucks to the MPAA to unlock your home movie" |

I "third" that.
And by the way, Blu-Ray is crap ridden with copy protection schemes, I am rooting for Toshiba's HD-DVD. I will not buy more Sony products as far as I can help it from now on. Very, very disappointed, considering almost everything at home is Sony. |
