Copy Protection Makes Dozens of Blu-ray Titles Unplayable

From NewTeeVee: Copy Protection Makes Dozens of Blu-ray Titles Unplayable

From the article: “Samsung recently updated the firmware of its devices, and now users are reporting that a large number of Blu-ray titles from Warner Bros. and Universal don’t play anymore.”

This is yet another example where pirates who illegally copied the affected films have no problem at all viewing them in high-def, where legitimate purchasers are locked-out. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is universally evil, and I promise we will continue to see stories like this so long as it is accepted, and so long as people spend their monies where DRM is used.
