When will they admit that they killed DVDs themselves due to their fear of piracy? The more copy protection they put on them, the less likely any given DVD was likely to work. In the 90's we rented a lot of DVDs. By the time Netflix came along, we finally gave up even trying DVDs from the video store, instead watching whatever drivel was on Netflix only because we had a reasonable expectation that it would work all the way through without a microscratch triggering the anti-piracy circuitry.
