Hi,
See:

(...)
"We talked to both formats and asked them: 'What are you going to do about
content protection?' We asked them to step up their content protection in
a
serious way, and the members of Blu-ray association won," said Andy Setos
(...)
On top of that, consumers should expect punishment for tinkering with
their
Blu-ray players, as many have done with current DVD players, for instance
to remove regional coding. The new, Internet-connected and secure players
will report any "hack" and the device can be disabled remotely.
(...)
No comment, no (public) opinion, but I will repeat that content protection
is most important, and that it will drive the studios' choice. I buy all
my
DVDs legally (though sometimes at extreme discounts, like 4 Euro for the
2-disc edition of Hulk), and I don't like being made to look like a fool
by
people who instead download all their movies. Even if I _am_ a fool... ;-)
Greetings,
-- Jeroen
