Well, I have a longer story to share. Some years ago we experimented at home with a media-player-PC under Linux. With DXR3Player we played DVDs. But Sony at the time experimented with different ways of special copyprotection, so a Screamers-DVD I bought (I love that movie) didn't play. Well, we looked into the problem, bu it wouldn't play from our original DVD. Later we found a solution, by copying the DVD on the harddisk. The DVD that wouldn't play from the original DVD (while every other worked well) was playable from harddisk (and nothing stopped us to copy it). Well, we thought, problem solved. we burned that back to a DVD-R and tried that - again unplayable. So Sony has invented a copyprotection that didn't stop copying in the least, but stopped us from watching the movie from the original DVD and from a DVD-copy - but allowed to watch the copy on harddisk.

So you became a Sony fan cause they allowed you to watch pirated movies O_0

What pirated movie? I didn't pirate anything, I never shared the copy I made. No, I'm probably Sonys best consumer: instead of complaining about a broken product and demand my money back, I let keep Sony my money and found a way to use the product myself. But others must have complained, because all my other DVDs - including the ones from Sony - worked well.
