Maybe Sony would have a way to tie it to downloadable copies of movies, since I doubt the other options are practical.]]>Nov 7th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/
Probably won't be tho.]]>Nov 7th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/Nov 7th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/
IMO It would be such a niche feature it would scarcely be worth bothering to implement it. The only way out is if managed copy were tied to a download service, such that if you inserted the BD, that the PSN download service would permit you download the equivalent digital copy. Even that would be fraught with all sorts of technical and legal issues.]]>Nov 7th 2009 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/
Anyway... I flagged each of the discs for managed copy, and the Manifest XML file is pointed to the default AACSLA server, but because I can't actually test the managed copy function on a BR deck, I don't know how well it will work. I'm relying on hardware manufacturers and software on computers to have a managed copy function. There is no "managed copy" link on my disc -- just the permissions set in the managed copy manifest xml.

It's my hope that it will work sort of in the way that iTunes DRM worked. The server will see that the disc is flagged to allow copies to be made. Does anybody have any information that they can share in this regard? I'm not sure if emails can be posted here, and I'm purposely avoiding a "plug," however, with my discs at the replicator, I'd gladly make a change if it helped to make this work more smoothly.

Thanks!

If I'm not charging, does anybody know if the server will simply allow a copy to be made?]]>Nov 7th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/07/managed-copy-hits-blu-ray-discs-december-4th-but-you-still-can/
