â€Sony Tech: We know about this problem. Its our new copy protection that’s making these discs unplayable in some players including our own, we do not intend to change the copy protection. The only correction to this problem is a firmware update to your player. The electronics division know about this and should have given you this information."
Somebody tell them to just stop! The best part is that the new DRM that Sony is using prevents the discs from playing on some DVD players, including their own, but does nothing to stop DVD ripper software from accessing the content. Really, I can’t make this stuff up.
