Others have responded too, but I think it's worth re-stating it in a short, sweet form: they got DRM (spelt around here as "Digital Restrictions Management") right-er than in the first round (DVD). This makes it less compatible with a free operating system. Whereas we could work around that reasonably with libdvdcss in the first round, they are much more draconian now and just accept that a whole bunch of players stop working (disabling their key when it becomes compromised). So expect some "interoperability problems". They are by design. - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlXVvUcACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZqUQCfRcWaOW+cyUzYiFNVHXvNt0EI dUcAnisntwoNqIKE8RwoCstx3cXDlMYO =8/sQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
