F'In a Ace. And my Velvet Revolver CD I paid for as well. At this rate, long live piracy.

I love how DRM fucks over legitimate customers while doing little or nothing to combat actual piracy (i.e., deadbeats not paying for things). Not to mention the illegality of most DRM schemes, since they typically prevent consumers from doing things they are entitled to do by law (such as making copies of music for different devices they own).

I wonder how far things will have to go before the public wakes up to this crap and gives the tyrannical media companies a good what-for.

There were only two things missing:

1) No one blamed Microsoft for this yet.
2) Sony hasn't put out a press release that owing a PS3 will make your computer immune. (Hey, they've promised everything else already.)

There's a program called AnyDVD that can help with this issue.

Good job Sony have not heard of Apple yet! as hollyood are sponsering Islam I try to get pirate copies so I do not encourage them, perhaps some film companies will find that selling video content that is not kneecapped will benefit its profits. Also the modern geek has at his fingertips supercomputers and the desire to defeat these assholes, so far VHS and DVD encryptions have been defeated with ease, by a boy in one case.

Have any Sony execs been ordered to fall on their sword for this cluster-fuck? (Literally, given where their home office is...)
