I wonder how much the DVD's would cost if their was no added cost for ANTIPIRACY software/hardware/firmware technology. The consumer is billed for the added cost of the disk, in addition to the modest fee of 3000us for the player. Creating new technology to defeat the "piracy problem" will forever be a reactive game because the pirators will adapt and overcome. Solution: Sell the disks as usual, prosecute the big offenders, lower the costs of the disks.
