That's a lot of trouble to go through, I'm sure most would go with someone else if this would be the case. > which would make it relatively easy for content providers to clamp down on unauthorized content There's a lot of easier ways - such as providing unrestricted media easily out of the box. > and hacked players That's a shame for any modders as well. I can't see this going down well with people. *My* device, *My* rules. It's of course going to be a response of "Oh, actually, we've decided it isn't yours, we're just leasing it to you and you have to give it back." as an excuse. > but would also cut consumers without internet connections out of the picture. This is the worst possible thing anyone with any kind of media could do. For example I'm fed up and want to watch a film I've downloaded when my internet goes off. My internet connection has been unreliable forever.. I can't see this sort of thing taking off really... Cheers Dan
