It would be simple - They could add code in the player software to check other instances of programs running like hex editors memory monitors, etc....and disallow any other instances to run at the same time - Also I doubt that they will CRACK the encryption of
HD-DVD that easily - Remember we are not talking about CSS here.
One day movies will be released on special UltraHD-DVD discs and be authenticated with biometrics and the encryption key will be created on the fly.
This is a bloody cat and mouse game but at the end it will penalise the legit user. They can put an end to this by not asking outageous, criminaly high prices for movies in the first place
