I really wonder if hollywood exectuives know what the real world is like.
If you put protection on something like a dvd that restricts what TV or dvd player i can use to veiw it, then the simple fact of the matter is i'll just pass thanks.
The worst thing is the fact that you know within 10 days of launch there will be a way to bypass the copy protection, meaning the only people who actually suffer are the poeple who dont break the law and leave their machines unmodified and actually buy the dvds.
Hollywood needs to realise that its own money grabbing attittue isnt helping sell movie tickets or dvd's and stopping piracy. all its doing is making the pirates more sophisticated and alienating the hardworking consumers who actually make or break films.
What does that mean to you?
