having spent $300 on a DVD player, I'm not too happy about this - I
beleive in open standards as much as the next guy, but if it drives the
movie industry to stop putting movies on DVD I'll be pretty upset - as the
article said, it's better for the limitation to be in hardware than in
content.. Xing could also probably be somewhat liable for this mistake,
depending on the conditions of licensing the CSS decryption technology..
