[QUOTE="rtv, post: 111743, member: 12309"] Even if it comes out like this - imagine there would be "Robin Hood" alike people owning a PS3 or similar device which allows them to distribute the HD-Content on a media accessible for everyone. Soon all those "poor" people would have access to all the content they'd ever wanted. In the end DRM would have acted like a catalyst to push people into criminal behaviour and just making the content more expensive for people who were willing to pay all that DRM overhead. (We're not questioning if the pirate people would have spend a "decent" prize for that content). So in the end everyone looses. - the companies with dropping sales - the poor artists for being depended on an inappropreate business model - the early adopter for paying even more money - the poor people for either being criminal or not being able to access that content at all - Microsoft for the bad PR - Open Source projects for causing "incompatibility" issues - ...
