Someone's having a giraffe

Oh dear. They really haven't thought this through, have they?

What's the point of putting DRM on their online streams, when the alternative is you can have a DVD or Blu-ray disc posted to you, and then -- in the comfort and privacy of your own home -- run mencoder on it, and dump the MPEG stream straight to HDD?

It will do about as much good as putting a very expensive padlock through the zip sliders of a tent.

Mine's the one with the DeCSS source code on the back.
