Hang on ...

so what's the advantage of buying something on DVD if you get "the TV experience" anyway ? (top 1 reason to buy stuff on DVD tends to be "I can watch it in peace & quiet without any ruddy commercial breaks")

I wouldn't want the damn things even if they gave'em away for free.

That said, I'm sure some enterprising hacker will come up with an ingenious tool to emulate the certificate - this is just DRM, but in a more insidious and cleverly packed form.

Let's just hope they're forced to clearly label these booby-trapped DVD's ....
