Rent, rip and return - Hollywood, RealNetworks square off on DVD copying

Maybe they should wake up.

I have two blu-ray players, one European and one American... because I want to buy movies from wherever I want to (whenever I want to) but because of DRM (Digital Restrictions Management or Copy protection to us mere mortals) I need two players - you go figure!
However I am more stubborn than they are...

BTW: I HATE DRM, it´s defective by design And I HATE it!, I HATE the way Disney has 8 trailers that you HAVE To skip through before letting the kids see their favourite movie, I bought the d@mned DVD - I Paid for it!!!, I HATE how you have to watch the anti-piracy FBI warnings, I paid to get the blu-ray/dvd, they guys who illegally download the films they don´t have to see the warnings... It doesn´t make sense!
And at the end of the day DRM only stops the people who paid in the first place, NEVER EVER the pirates, they figured out a way around it the day after it came out...

CUT THE CRAP!

Now that felt great saying in a REAL names forum!

Sorry if I went too far OT, but I needed it off my chest!
