DRM on Terminator 2 DVD
posted by mpawlo on Monday June 02, @06:30AM
from the hasta-la-diska dept.
Digital Entertainment miladus writes "European importers of DVDs are warned by an anonymous source in The Inquirer, to beware of a US version of Terminator 2 that's out over there.
Disk Two has a superhigh definition version of the film in Windows Media 9 on it, but it incorporates a cunning type of digital rights management (DRM).
An importer of US DVDs warns that it checks if you are in the USA or Canada, possibly by using IP addresses, and if you're not, you're terminated [Pawlo's comment: hopefully, this only applies to the DVD and not the individual].
It doesn't matter whether you've a region free drive or cunning software either, apparently."
