I was just in Vanuatu (Port Vila) and they weren't being sold at the markets, the real DVD stores there had nothing but pirate software and DVDs. And they weren't much cheaper than you would pay in Australia for a real DVD. Ever seen Microsoft Application 2005 ? (thats Vt.2800 = ~USD$24 - all the DVDs were about that price, even the handicam shot ones) The company (yes real registered company) that makes them has the disclaimer at the bottom "All rights of the reproduced reserved" :omg: I particulary liked the boxes for the Xbox copies ("Only for XGame") and PS2 ("Only for PlayGame"). I must say I was completely shocked about how open it was. I knew piracy was bad, but I never knew real stores and real companies would be involved in such a way.

I'm sure they'll offer you wireless access, and a ISP deal you can#t miss :) my point being that people probably will buy into that. After all, every second CD you buy is Copy Challenged.

(not pop[^]) Happily I have a trusty CD-RW drive that didn't hear about copyright protection yet.... :cool:

"On top of that, consumers should expect punishment for tinkering with their Blu-ray players, as many have done with current DVD players, for instance to remove regional coding. The new, Internet-connected and secure players will report any "hack" and the device can be disabled remotely." taken from http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/ptech/09/02/dvd.format.war.reut/index.html[^] ... do they _really_ think people will buy dvd players that are connected to the content owners in real time and can be switched off at will??!!?? what drugs do these people take???? :wtf:
DVDs. Hah! They're so passe. DVR, OnDemand video through your cable provider is the way to be. :) BW
