The self-destructing blu-ray disc player

davidnix71:
That sounds like what they do to satellite cards. Send unauthorized ones a signal to erase the eprom, or switch the encryption on the fly, but if you aren't authorized, yours doesn't get the new key. I'll never use something like that. There might be a market for this for pay for view (Super Bowl, title prize fight, World Series) but high definition TV and most movies are still a vast (digital) wasteland. And I don't think p0rn would really be more attractive in high res. Some things are better left to the imagination.

Coming soon: New DRMed computers rigged with explosives to literally blow piracy out of the water.

New Development

If you try to modify the blu-ray disc players, the self destruct code will activate.  

When did companies get the idea that they could sell us things but not have them belong to us?

Jack2000:
They can shove they players up their as*es !
I ma gona use an old player :)

Orethrius:
I wonder if I could get MediaPlay to open their code, or if they're still adament about taking it down with them when they squander their last $1,000 in about a week.
