DVDs might just be recorded to portable video players…

We're skeptical on how this will work out, but it's a good first step. The movie folks are talking about "allowing"
people to put a copy of the DVD they bought on a portable video player. This shouldn't be a big deal, but in the messed up bizarro world we're in that forgot about fair-use we're getting a crumb. It's a wise move, if people can't put DVDs on their PVPs, there is almost no reason to buy one (well, besides all those torrents). Right now, many players allow analog recording and if they don't we showed you ways to do it— so it doesn't matter too much. We're predicting some extremely complicated key system so only some players can play the DVDs and are keyed to your system, ATRAC for video comes to mind...
