But BD has more types of DRM so it could be a bigger problem because of this, but again this is not a format war thing that concerns me.
I am assuming that the studios (particularly Fox) will not continue to keep varying how they are using BD-Java & BD+ (DRM) that is causing continued issues for some new titles on certain BD players. Whether it is the studio's fault or the player mfg fault, or both, there does seem to be ongoing issues with new releases on some/many BD players.
What happens when DRM changes are made due to the dynamic nature/structure, and you do not get updates anymore from the mfg for your BD player to handle the DRM changes? How long will they continue to provide these updates after the sale of the BD player?
THAT is what my concern is with some mfg, particularly the lower tier mfgs.  |
I understood what you meant, my comment was humor recalling the continual claims here that the Blu-ray DRM provided for turning your Blu-ray player into a brick if the player had been used for illegal copies. The silly scenario dreamed up by some of the HD DVD supporters here was that you might play an illegal Blu-ray disc unkowingly and blah, blah, blah. You even made the nonsense claim. Blu-ray player prices are going sky high if Blu-ray wins, HD DVD is required to keep Blu-ray player prices in check and so on and so on. All of the sky will start falling claims if the evil Blu empire wins were funny to me.
