Blu-Ray Facing Delays Caused by DRM Squabbling

Tomo Hiratsuka writes "Disney, Warners et al, the companies behind the AACS content management system, apparently can't get their act together to complete the standard they wish to impose on Blu-ray. The result? Pioneer has the first Blu-ray drive for PCs ready for market next month but is openly admitting the DRM issue may force it to delay." From the article: "The inability of the companies behind the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) content management system to complete their work has already caused Toshiba to put launch plans for its HD DVD player on hold. AACS is made up of a number of companies from the electronics and content industries. The group's founders include IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Disney and Warner Bros."

Excellent. More fuel.

What else... Ok. Programmable calculators suck, Battlestar Galactica has always sucked, Microsoft make very fine software, George Bush is a neo-facist, George Bush is a great man... Slashdot doesn't post enough Google dupes!

Holy crap. That's a nice fire. Anybody wanna make smores? ;)
