posted on the forum, to show a point

I have kept the following posted as a statement of my own frustrations, and do not intended to persuade anyone toward my opinions. Please remember that I am just really angry angry at winDVD and Sony (makers of Blu-ray). I am stating that DRM is a ECE-crippling defense that is more of a hassle and turn off to honest consumers than deterrent to professional-grade spipsters. As the former turn the later, I am both scarred and armored until the technology changes.
I prefer to think of this as more of a misunderstanding by people at the top who had no intention of causing me, the end consumer, any pain/toil.

[quote]This is it! I am so sick of all this crap about digital rights management.
You all know my stance on video piracy (or piracy of any nature). I have felt for a very long time that digital signatures are far from evil, and I will tolerate a little bit of inconvenience.
however.
somebody owes me 200 bucks.
Blu-ray is evil. DVD signatures are evil.
I bought a bluray drive for my computer. I am not able to play 3 bluray discs, and have SUCESSFULLY played one. And to top it off, the following DVDs suddenly don't work on my computer EVEN IN MY DVD DRIVE!!@!!!@!@!@@!!@
One Night in Eden and Harem: Desert Fantasy.
although, live in las vegas, a luna, and Diva video collection work fine.

So. who do I write a letter to to complain about this? I own these DVDs, and I intend to watch them.

EDIT: I have decided to return the blu rays and the drive, although I am at my wits end about the DVDs suddenly not working.

edit, later the same night:
Why is it that as consumers we are allowing ourselves less freedom with what we buy? I found a work around, but it involves an exe that is strangely like a virus that eats through the constraints of media managers to let me edit files from disks to retain soft "rights" of them. Looks like the consumer has restored his ability to view what he paid for... no thanks to Sony's corporate help or the tech people at winDVD. Good ol' hacking has delivered us from a certain evil once again.[/quote]
