Update - Seems as though if you want to watch next gen DVDs on your PC you will have to purchase it from a large manufacturer due to a $15,000 license fee. Read more.
Seriously though, as if we weren’t already treated with enough contempt, we have to deal with one more thing in the move to HD. HDCP is yet another way to control how and where we watch content we purchase legally.
The fact that I won’t be able to watch my HD-DVD or Blu Ray disk on my PC without a new video card and maybe monitor really bugs me. Its not like I need it because playing back the video is very hardware intensive, its just so the movie studios can control it.
