If the "hardware suppliers" are going to make it impossible for ripped DVD's from being played on machines without the original DVD being loaded they could come across a small problem!!
What about home DVD's that people create themselves and give copies to friends and family to watch??
How can the hardware decide if it is a ripped movie or an original movie as the ripping software that is freely available on the net removes the encryption from the film as it copies it to the hard drive, another DVD or hand held MP4 player??
Home DVD's do not use the same encryption that purchased movies contain and can be made to look like professionally produced DVD's from major studios.
Or are all of these people trying to prevent the home user from sharing family movies as well!!!
