[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 111767, member: 11550"] Actually, CD's are more and more becomming "regualr" again. EMI was the first company to unilaterally copy protect all it's CD line. they did this a long time ago - before 2000 from memory. Last year they decided not to and in a very un-announced way removed copy protection from all their CD's I guess the difference here is that DRM was never meant for CD's and they cause a LOT of issues when it is applied. HD and BR was designed specifically for DRM with just a bit of extra quality thrown in to sunk in the end users. Frodo, your post was great and very informative, but the trouble is, as you outlined, that the choice of DRMis up to the studio and in every case I am pretty sure their decision will be for as much DMR as the system can support. We had a similar thing here in Oz. One of our tv networks began making old episodes of TV shows available for download on their site. Unfortunately it was only a crap show that no-one ever watched (McCloud's Daughter's for you Aussies), the download episode cost $5, could only be watched once and would automatically expire after a week. The initiative was a huge flop (wonder why?) and now I don't think they offer this any more, probably blaming the "dumb" end users. [/QUOTE]
