   I don't think the limited playback DVDs failed for the reason you =
suggest.  They were priced to compete with rentals not purchases.

   Copy protection like macrovision survived the market just fine.  I =
expect the same for HD content with one exception.  There are early =
adopters that have HD displays or other components that support = component
or DVI w/o HDCP.  This wasn't an issue with macrovision or at = least not
one I remember.

  The problem is the industry is placing restrictions on content that I =
