Posted by timothy on from the dedicated-to-bono dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Studios digitally restricting (drm) or locking down content with DVD-CSS not enough for you? Well, get ready, here comes the entertainment cartel's Holy Grail, all-hardware encryption, via 'DECE.' And let's not forget this little issue."

    It's a conceptual XKCD link.
    The concept of the link takes precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.

    I want to watch it in a house
    I want to watch it with a mouse
    I want to watch it on a boat
    I want to watch it with a goat
    I want to watch it in the grass
    If MPAA won't let me I'll shove it up their ass!     (Ok, that was cheap :P)
    All these restrictions don't let me admire it
    Perhaps I'll get it from a pirate!

    what incentive do consumers have to buy this new hardware?

    "Hancock 2" will only be available in this new platform.

    So I rented "The Hangover" last night. There is a nice new nasty FBI warning when you load the disk and it won't let you skip the previews or go to the main menu. It was another nail in the coffin for me an purchasing or renting movies. I'm about one more bad experience away from becoming a full blown pirate. What made DVD's great when they first came out was the ability to skip all the crap and to not have to rewind, this forcing you to watch PSA's before the movie is utter crap. (Yes there is a stop smoking PSA you can't skip too...)

    That's odd. I watched "The Hangover" last night and I don't recall seeing any of these new warnings. Where did you rent your copy? I rented mine from a place called "The Pirate Bay". It's an odd sort of place where all of the rentals are free. Frankly I don't know how they make any money to stay in business. You should check it out.
