Just do what my city is doing, they are requiring a police officer on each corner a cameras are located to validate the event for the picture.
Local government at its best.
It looks like a concrete picture tube.

And you thought glass was heavy...
What, not comments on the girl?

They don’t mention that you can not play the disc on a PC, but they do say its impossible to created 1:1 copies. Old information.
Now if they would include a list of movies using this protection so I don't have to bother buying them.

Notes from the creator:

Protect DVD-Video

The music and video industries are losing billions of dollars of revenue from unauthorized copying. Inexpensive digital recording devices are now widely available. And, it seems that freely copying somebody else's copyrighted material is often viewed as an entitlement.

Although the DVD originally came with copy protection systems by design, these systems (CSS and Macrovision Analog Copy Protection) were quickly broken, and today don't limit the copying of video material.

ProtectDVD-Video is a new form of copy protection, especially designed for DVD-Video. By combining special media structures implemented at the replicator facility with the DVD internal navigation structure, ProtectDVD makes it impossible to created 1:1 copies or complete rips of the protected DVD.

ProtectDVD effectively protects DVDs against copying and ripping - and thus prevents unauthorized distribution over the internet.

From the users perspective ProtectDVD is a preferred choice because of its unique compatibility and transparent implementation.

ProtectDVD-Video can be applied by almost any DVD manufacturing plant. Ask your DVD-Video replicator or contact us for a list of DVD manufacturers.

Why do they look like characters from the Howard Stern Show. Are these the Japan Lab's test subjects?
Are they using the Creative menu system? :-)
(Just a crack to the previous apple patent law suite posts)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
