What do you think about this?
Personally i think any company who signs up to this is cutting their own throat. Surely they know by now that it takes just a few week for somebody to design a way to get around the copy protection if the existing ones dont already do it. sounds like an easy way to get the latest rental films without worrying about being spyed on through P2P networks.
