I'm not sure how happy Henning is when I refer people to another site, but here goes.

For those of you interested in Profile 2.0, BD-Live, and are waiting for the right 2.0 BD player, here's an interesting discussion at the AVS Forums about Panasonic's upcoming BD-50, Profile 2.0 player:

Kinda makes me glad I'm enjoying my Panny BD-30.

Yes, seldom people are aware of the things DRM brings with it. I still can't believe why studios don't realize that easy access, good prices and content will make people choose to pay for movies. Not DRM that only makes it more painful to be a lawful consumer than it is being a pirate. A pirate doesn't have to deal with region coding, firmware updates because of copy protection, waiting for weeks for the firmware updates to become available and the list goes on.

I can see why people would have privacy concerns in this matter but hasn't this been going on for years? Even on DVD that had bonus web content and music CD's they would track how many people were using the features and so on. I believe this is done in the game console world also to make sure you are not using a pirated copy of the game and you haven't modded your console.

At the end of the day if all they can do is track the serial number of the disc you're playing and the IP address it's coming from...why worry if you're not doing anything illegal? The information is only going to that particular studio right?

The funny part about Blu-Ray's victory, is that basically what people are saying, is that they wanted Copy Protection and Region Coding. People in large part wanted Sony to take victory and enjoy royalties for a format finally. Blu-Ray supporters I think for the most part didn't see benefit from HD DVD's format, but were too concerned in personal intrest, rather than what would be better for the consumer economy. I'm not trying to rub salt into wounds or start a battle, I'm stating truths regarding some of the basic facts that are true. If hackers could break Copy Protection within the first 48 hours of Blu-Ray's release, I beg to ask one question?

Why spend all of the money and investment on the support of Region Coding and Copy Protection?

Also ultimately in the end, with the format being Controlled from market zone to market zone, it does impact the end price of the products that are being released.
