about the pitfalls of DRM; 90% of the public is very unaware and will happily buy new players and new DVDs and be very happy never noticing the DRM and its limitations.

I can't find one once of sympathy for the fact the issues with the DRM standard for these devices (Blu-Ray and HD-DVD share the same DRM called Advanced Access Content System (AACS)) is holding up shipping.
If electronic vendors weren't bending over trying to appease the studios and studios weren't so backward looking this wouldn't be an issue.
I can see the ad campaign now:
"DRM, this will hurt us as much as it does you."
I envision this as white text on a black and white picture of a parental looking figure looking very sad with a paddle in his or her hand. ![]()
