This DVD Will Self Destruct...

[SteveUK]

I am not condoning copyright infringement...but...I have never found a DVD that I can't copy in about 15 minutes. If you impose a time limit on the DVDs usability, won't it just encourage more people to learn how to make illegal copies?

P.S. I want to just make it clear that I don't make illegal copies. I make back-up copies of all my DVDs after I have bought them. This is perfectly legal.

No I wasn't sarcastic, a few years ago BuenaVista tried a thing called "2view"or something... after you have viewed te tape for the second time it erased itself at the third time
concept was hacked within a month you only had to put a toothpick in some hole inside the cassette and there would be no erasing
BuenaVista canceled the program after three months

yeah you put electrical tape over the copying slot
