CNN article "Movie Transfers to DVD to Become Easier" - Club CDFreaks

There is an interesting article on the CNN website under the "technology" heading. I did not want to paste the article as Associated Press has a warning about redistributing it.

"The group also is working with disc makers to produce CSS-compatible blank DVDs."

What exactly is a "CSS-compatible blank DVD"? CSS is merely a weak encryption algorithm. Why would burning encrypted bits be any more difficult than burning non-encrypted bits? A 0 is still a 0 and a 1 is still a 1. It seems like the author of the article doesn't know what he or she is talking about. In addition, what's the point of creating a new technology that implements CSS when it provides no real measure of protection over an unencrypted DVD?
