Studios OK Burning Movie Downloads

SirClicksalot writes "The DVD Copy Control Association has released a statement (pdf) announcing that it will make adaptations to the Content Scramble System (CSS) used to protect DVDs. The association, made up of Hollywood studios, consumer electronics and software companies, licenses CSS to the DVD industry to protect content. The changes will allow home users to legally burn purchased movie downloads to special CSS protected DVDs, compatible with existing DVD players."

    Yea, okay. They take an official position on a matter that is 100% in agreement with the Slashbot position and you STILL bitch and moan about it.

    I think that pretty much says everything about what the slashbots really feel about burning music and movies. Even when they're officially with you as a matter of policy, you whine. What's going to keep you from whining? I would wager nothing short of them just giving away the content completely free of charge with no restrictions or ads. Because, frankly, that's all you whiny babies really want, and nothing less is going to make you cheap bastards happy.
