God damn copy protection!!! Can't they see its gonna INCREASE piracy?!? Implementing this just makes life more difficult for the paying customer! As if DRM wasn't enough to piss off people who bought legal copies of movies, this should be enough to turn the majority of the consumers to cheaper, DRM free, region free, and soon RFID / RFA anti-theft technology free pirated movies.
I don't see your problem with this? It just stops people from stealing media from stores! Sure, if for some reason it doesn't activate the media and you bring home an unplayable disc then that would be a problem but, if it works as advertised (most unlikely i know) i don't see the harm.
