this was a pretty sensible post on there

"The ones dictating all the DRM are the content owners, aka - the studios. Fox and Disney are the two most paranoid studios that don't want people pirating their content. Blu-ray offered them a better guarantee than HD-DVD. Let's face it, it's all about money, our money. Toshiba hasn't been financing HD-DVD fans' ride "

I agree. Thats what's been many studio issues all along. And again....Blu Ray is a corporate friendly format. They do what the businesses tell them to, not the consumer. We're just allowed to have the product they deem fit to give us. I accept HD-DVD is done. Doesn't mean I openly accept Blu Ray.

If any of you watch anime you know what this means.

God I hate Deathnote.

all the protection these studios throw at hackers will be craked.hey look at the iphone.

i dont care for pirating movies. cause i make good money now. since im in IT field. Ill be pirating these just cause when the time comes. and then remember the good old days....the days when HDDVD.... the format that was.

I hear you there, I usually only download things that are still in theaters, like screeners, etc, and a lot of music, and also software, but I really like to BUY my movies. I will say I have NOT paid for software in YEARS. I am not wealthy by any means, but I also not at poverty level, but the price of MOST software is RIDICULOUS!!!
