That would be nice. It made NO sense to me at ALL that blank discs could be revoked. When I read that article my blood boiled as you can tell. Even so, the fact that they can revoke original media that I paid for STILL irritates me. Once I pay for a piece of media, I should be able to do what I want with it short of giving it to others. If I want to put it on my network video machine, a portable device, or whatever, I should be able to do so. I should also be able to play it without having to have an internet connection, as well. I realize M$ is trying to get that to happen with HD DVD...one of their requirements is the ability to copy it to a PC's hard drive. That's kuel. But, they also require you to go purchase a new copy protection enabled monitor in order to play it back in HD, so, that's kind of an issue IMO.

All that being said, I'm also cautious of speculation. We haven't actually seen any implementations yet, and until we do we can only go by press releases. We know how accurate those tend to be...cough cough. Nonetheless, based on the information I've seen, so far I'm not impressed.
