I especially liked this qoute:
"consumers will be able to enjoy the enhanced quality of these next-generation formats."

Well of course. Without macrovision protection, the quality would be much lower.

Does ROF write their PR-copy...?

Remarkably similar to ROF's defense of region-encoding for HD...

Sad as that is, some us must suffer through these things because some people can not stop being thieves.

Well of course. Without macrovision protection, the quality would be much lower.
