this story Seán published a day or so ago. It's quite the hot topic at the moment on the main page. The article goes into detail about swiftys concerns and the phone home mentality that is coupled into the AACS. This is the content protection being designed for the next gen formats (at least HD-DVD). But, please bear in mind that these new discs will contain what amounts to a digital master of the original film and this has studios nervous about piracy. We can't expect the next gen formats to take off without this content so the process has begun on how to go about protecting the content providers.
