I am also expecting people to hunt for firmware updates with no idea on how to get them on their players because there is no ethernet jack on their BD player.]]>Jun 20th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/
You sure it can't update firmware?

It probably will be broken at some point, but regardless -- this is the exact reason that consumers should be supporting HD DVD and not BD. Why would I pay to help people stop me from being able to use products I purchased? If I want a media server, I should be allowed to have a media server. The studios, obviously, disagree. :(]]>Jun 20th 2007 4:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 3:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 3:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/
You obviously don't have a lot of experience in this.]]>Jun 20th 2007 7:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/
I can't wait for October, when all those early adopter Blu-ray standalone owners find out just how much they've been ripped off. You think flaming notebook batteries and rootkits caused a stink, just you wait.

Say goodbye to region free players, too. Sorry, Europe!]]>Jun 20th 2007 10:29PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 20th 2007 10:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/
BOTH formats have DRM. If HD-DVD TRUSTED it's users there would be NO drm. Plain and simple. 1 or 100 levels of drm DO NOT MATTER you are not trusted by either group. It just plain STUPID to say otherwise, I'm looking right at you xyzzy.


An extra level of drm won't be an issue for people making the dvd rippers. It will actually be a bit more fun. Since there are so few players right now and most can be software updated I don't sense this as being as big of an issues as the fact that
BLUERAY is now finalized. All players from here on out WILL be comatable and the studios can finally fully support the format.]]>Jun 21st 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Let's play with your example. Assume you have two stores you could shop at. One has a metal detector setup when you walk in and out of the store and is relatively unobtrusive. The second store has the same metal detector, but everytime you pass through it, you then have to go into another room for a complete strip search. They do this as you enter the store, and again as you leave the store (to make sure you're not stealing anything). On top of that, the second store charges more for its product because it has to pay for that extra security. Which store are you going to shop at?

See how it actually DOES matter how much DRM is in a product? I'll take the one that's already been compromised and won't slow my machine down (Java is s...l...o...w...)

"if there were not so many thieving oxygen wasters in this world it wouldnt be a problem. I bet you would complain if someone stole your car, or house, or belongings...."
That's mostly just hype from the studios (and to a greater extent, the RIAA...). Filesharing has never been shown (from an impartial study) to hurt their bottom line, despite what they'd have you believe.

And stealing a car, house or belongings aren't the same -- in your example, people are being deprived use of the object because there's only one. I agree that downloading is wrong, but it's nowhere near as harmful as they'd have you believe.]]>Jun 21st 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/
I own a studio, i spend millions making a movie, i put it out on hidef...some slack-jawed yokel buys a copy and then copies it, gives it to his mates, sells it at boot fairs and garage sales, making a few bucks here and there. I lose millions in revenue as slackjaw freak lines his pockets

wait

i can protect my content..

but....some cries 'what about me being able to make a copy for my kids??' Well...DONT LET YOUR RETARDED CHILDREN PLAY WITH THE DISKS! or howabout ' I need a copy, you know, for safe keeping..'well...DONT BE SO ANAL!

managed copy for media servers, but thats it, if there were not so many thieving oxygen wasters in this world it wouldnt be a problem. I bet you would complain if someone stole your car, or house, or belongings....]]>Jun 21st 2007 1:43PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 21st 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/bd-drm-is-now-available-for-blu-ray/Jun 22nd 2007 1:23PM
