Simple Solution

From Slashdot

"Ars Technica has an interesting article on how HDCP figures into Microsoft and Apple's future OS plans. Not only will future HD content not play in pure HD on most existing monitors (it will be degraded, or not shown at all), but high-end monitors today don't support HDCP yet. HDCP has been coming for 3+ years, but geek fantasy items such as Apple's $3,000 30" Cinema Display don't even have support for it yet! The end result is that when Windows Vista ships (and Apple's next OS), most people won't be able to watch protected HD content on their computers."


Here is a simple solution when companies follow these stupid restrictive moves, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! when the movie industry realizes that people stop buying, they will finally start listening, but when you bitch about DRM this or the RIAA does this or the MPAA does that, they don't care, because they are still getting your money and corporations exist only to increase shareholder value everything else they tell (which may or may not even be true) is said only to support this goal. If you want to make this work, put your credit card back in your pocket and go to your local library and check out a book instead.
