This crap has got to stop! People need to be informed of the facts about DRM's, format standards, and Hollywood's constant standing in the way of technology. All they see is dollar signs and not normal human behavior. If people do not understand something, they will do without it, that is a known and proven human reaction.
This new format war, that Hollywood has created, is not going to work the way they want it to. Something is going to be overlooked, forgotten or not considered to be a problem. Just a little opening to give "Fanboys", geeks, and hackers, living in their mom's basement something to do for the next 6 months. It's going to happen!
Blue-ray (or HD-DVD ...whatever), is going to blow-up in their faces, and it will be a well deserved, and expensive ego bruising, lesson that Hollywood desperately need to learn.
