I don't know if you guys watched the interview of a homeless man on Oprah, but this guy was the example of idiocy. He was screened before hand to make sure he wasn't a drug addict or crazy. He was homeless for 20 years or so and given $100,000 from a documentary producer to see how he would handle it. He was given financial counseling and other forms of help to give him the right path, he got a license and had job opportunities, but he didn't take them. Less than a year later he had nothing, he actually OWED money. He blew over half of it on vehicles (gotta get my dodge ram and buy a friend a car) and was generally wasteful. I didn't feel sorry for this man one bit, how could he be so stupid? This story was a test of what keeps these people down, was it bad luck or just stupidity, and guess what, it was stupidity. Go home poor people, oh thats right you don't have one.
It seems to me this is the way the movie theaters can get people to pay for the same movie over again. It has all these software restrictions on what it will run on, but what happens when windows 21xx won't support the software. Ooops now you have to buy it again. And you will get no more convenience factor then is available now. This is by far the worst idea I have seen from MPAA.
