The Apex units have not been available with that feature doe quite some time
now. The ahd what was know as a loophole menu. It was designed for testing and
repairing the units. But someone discovered a way to access this menu using the
remote.
There was a big stink. E bay banned the sale of any units advertising that they
could bypass Macrovision. Apex was forced to change their firmware. There is
someone who sells the modified (older style) chips to allow copying again.
To the best of my knowledge, Macrovision is still the only method used for copy
protection of DVDs. You can't have many different schemes because if you did,
each player would need to be programed to deal with each one.
