if that's true, ian, that'd be pretty annoying.
all this idiocy does virtually nothing to prevent piracy and serves in the end only to annoy the honest users.
very frustrating.
the music industry has already seen the wrath of the public when they mistreat their customers. the video industry is going to get treated similarly if they too treat their honest customers as criminals.
DRM almost uniformly works in a "guilty until proven innocent" world.
i don't steal music and i don't steal videos. but i get screwed because i can't play my iTunes stuff on non-apple products and i get screwed because my HD television doesn't support HDCP. stupid.
at some point it'll be easier for me to just start stealing the stuff, and that's a shame.
doody.
