Surely that's easy enough ... just release on Blu-Ray (or isn't that Sony?)
and then not license it to anyone.  (OK, bit late now on the license issue
but do an upgrade to the firmware.)

But, even if that is true, the current DRM on Sony doesn't work on all Sony
products (without the firmware upgrade -- which isn't available yet.)

Or am I (as I have done on occasion) completely missing the point.
