They are already playing tricks

I recently bought a DVD and wanted a backup copy because of the endusers (kids), and found that none of my systemes was able to read it, giving cyclic redundancy check errors. The DVD plays fine on our DVD player, so I can only guess it's another copy control trick.

Now I shall have to get myself an illegal copy from the 'net to use as working copy. Maybe this is what they want consumers to do?
