subject: Why HD-DVD & Blue-ray will crash & burn

From: Ad

I'm in semi agreement. My problem with the piece is that the real problemo
is the massive drm crap which will put people off the whole hd thing coz
the extra ain't worth the hassle mucho as IMAX never caught on .

Also I reckon the "Hdd" option is going to radically change as
solid state disks come on line & drop in price. What do you want...a
frangible silver disk or a solid state thing  covered in hard plastic &
rubber 1 inch by 1/2 an inch holding the same amount of info & which
has a vastly faster read/write?

I think the new silver disks are right on the edge & frankly the DRM
pushes then over. No DRM & people might well do a 1-4-1 swap with their
dvd/cd etc. but......with lots of DRM...mucho like Imax...why bother?
