Correct. That is exactly how they intend it to work. I can see the possibility of some ingenious hacker group releasing a "whitelist" hd dvd image that you burn to a disc, stick in your player, and unblacklist all your movies, but, this would result in a very ugly cat and mouse game at best. And since BluRay requires internet access for playback(idiots), I suspect they'll simply overwrite the list every time you attempt to play anything. It's ridiculous.
