Ripping a copy-protected DVD that you own is illegal?!

Just don't distribute.

Doesn't bluray already do this? I thought that was one of the reasons people hated it so much is because bluray did this and the hd-dvd format didn't.

Although, I know a lot of people are ripping bluray discs already so it might be just the web enabled content that communicates with a server.

Bluray doesn't do this. DIVX(not the codec) was a "rental" format that sort of did that.

Bluray players don't have to be internet connected. BDLive needs the internet but that shit is useless.

Google Cinavia, it's part of the Bluray spec now. Finally they have an analog way to prevent copying. A HTPC that I can control what the software does is now absolutely necessary to me enjoying my content the way I see fit. I decided a couple of years ago that I just don't give a fuck about laws concerning the copying and transcoding of discs anymore. No matter what you do, you're a criminal in their eyes and now the Government's eyes thanks to their lobbying and payola. Again, they reserve the right to file suit against me, and I reserve the right to burn their fucking offices to the ground for financially ruining me.

It amuses me, some of the same people who are all for restricting certain items are all for breaking the law when it's something they care about.
