Blu-ray discs get Managed Copy, hardware support nonexistent. Yet another reason why blue ray is a crock. I personally am sick and tired of this BS now and just wish BR would disappear. Why all the headache when I just want to watch a freakin movie and they keep moving the goal posts!!

 

Then you probably want also DVD's to disappear. All DVD movies have copy protection and there is no legal way to make a backup of DVD movie. Sure, there are many programs that enable you to copy DVD movies but all those backup copies are illegal (even if program is legal, discs would still be illegal). At least this system allows you to make 1 backup copy, DVD doesn't allow to make any copies at all.

Anyway, this doesn't even involve PS3 because PS3 BR can't write so it can't even make backup copies.
