I know *why* they are doing it, I just do not agree with their
implementation. The sad truth is that DRM enforcements like this do
*NOTHING* for real pirates, little for small-time pirates, and LOTS for
the honest consumer. Granted, the average joe six-pack won't even realize
that his HD set isn't outputting HD from the component of his BluRay...
that doesn't make it any less devious.
Like I said... they can kiss my ass and won't get a nickel from
me and anyone else I can make wise to the real situation.
