Agree. Surely being able to play HD and SD video files isn't against the law. How a user goes about getting such material is up to the user.

If it was an issue then how would quicktime and WMP be able to operate on PC's and Mac's ?

It would lend itself to a more open storage/playback architecture and that for other reasons might be a better solution for many of us. Full blown closed Sooloos for the customer that doesn't want to know how it all works.

Put another way...is Dune3.0 illegal because it can play video files ? I doubt it.
