sounds fishy to me

sorry, but I don't like anonymous reviews that totally lambast a product. just too many possible people out there with axes to grind.

also, I've never seen the "plus it's covered by patents" remark in a technical review. a technical person is usually not qualified to say such a thing, and usually doesn't care anyway. the one patent they did point to is not a patent, just a pending application

if the bad review is truly warranted, the next one will reach the same conclusion.

I suppose if the engineer is a patent agent, they could speak to it. At any rate, did anyone look at the claims. Yes, 54 and 55 are broad. But the first independant claim (claim 30 I think) is really quite funny.

It seems to me that that claim completely covers the situation where DVDs burnt with DSV can't be read back properly in a DVD player. And if you can't read it back properly, how the heck can you play the movie?

So, they have a patent application out there on unreadable disks using DSV copy protection. Claims 54 and 55 are normal and claim DVDs with DSV riddled files.
