More Sony DRM Headaches
New titles unplayable in some DVD players
Users in our security forum discuss how Sony's latest attempt at DRM prevents some DVDs from being played -- even on some Sony DVD players. Several new Sony DVDs come with the protection, which Wired News suggests is a rehash of an old (and already compromised) DRM system named ARccOS. This blogger was told by Sony that it's up to the end-user to upgrade the firmware on their DVD players.

Sony using DVD logo illegally?

If these DRM-laden DVDs won't play in a DVD player . . . then how come they can display the DVD logo?

Doesn't that violate some kind of DVD Format/Logo Licensing Agreement?
