el problema no es la tecnologia a la que ya nos estamos acostumbrando si a los benditos piratas que seguro ya estaran sacando nuevas tecnologias con el fin de sonsacar al blu y al hd

...es como si en un pais se le obligara a todos a pagar impuestos y servicios de estrato 6 esto seria imposible!!!Imaginese para una persona que gana el minimo en Colombia o en un pais subdesarrollado o en via de desarrollo que gana en promedio $250 Us mensuales Gastar $60Us en un juego o Pelicula de DVD seria algo asi como decir los pobres no tienen derecho a divertirce y que los ricos asumiran los gastos de las consolas o unidades que no se vendan por este concepto (esto seria imposible)...
Todo es un novelon de las corporaciones contra la pirateria pero la apoyan por debajo de cuerda con el desarrollo de hardware y software pero la atacan publicamente (El ABC de la Guerra biologia: Diseñe un Virus bien berraco no sin antes tener la vacuna ) Que doble moral la que se maneja en el mundo"

THEM: We've finally crácked it and developed high density disc technology.
Us: Hurray.
Them: This will allow for amazing storage capacity and the creation of super high-resolution movies, twice as good as DVD and four times better than TV.
Us: Double Hurray.
Them: However, there are two competing disc formats.
Us: Huh?
Them: Yes. Blu Ray and HD DVD.
Us: Why?
Them: Er, because we're greedy.

Us: Have you ever heard of VHS and Betamax?
Them: Trust us, this is really different and won't divide the market or confuse customers.
Us: Really?
Them: Well, no.
Us: Pardon?
Them: Remember when we said that two formats wouldn't divide the market or confuse and pi** off customers?
Us: Yes…
Them: We lied. It's divided the disc player market down the middle.
Us: Ah crap. Anything else?
Them: Erm..

Us: Out with it.
Them: Hollywood studios have split into two camps, some supporting Blu Ray and the rest HD DVD, meaning your favourite movies will probably arrive on two different formats.
Us: Ah crap.
Them: Yeah sorry. We did have numerous opportunities to try and make both formats compatible but due to internal pressures, technical difficulties and launch schedules we were unable to accommodate such common sense.
Us: In English please.
Them: Couldn't see past the dollar signs, sorry. Listen, controlling the next generation format of high density disc that the whole world will use for storage and high-def movies is so much more attractive than controlling half the market and potentially losing the battle to the other format.
Us: But what about us, the customers?
Them: You'll get over it.
Us: Grrr.
Them: Look on the bright side, high-def movies are nearly here and some companies will make dual format players – albeit they will cost more.

Us: At least my high-resolution LCD panel is ready for the new movies
Them: Sure it is. Probably.
Us: Probably?
Them: Trust us.
Us: You said that last time. What do you mean 'probably'?
Them: Now don't get upset but there's a teeny weenie little piece of technology in the copyright protection system called Image Constraint Token (ICT).
Us: Go on.
Them: ICT is a digital flag within the Advanced Access Content System (AACS), which is the digital rights management (DRM) standard. You've probably heard about DRM, everyone loves it.
Us: In English please
Them: It's to stop you scumbags err, we mean valued customers - pirating high def movies.
Us: How does it work?
Them: Well if you try an output the high-def movies from your player to your TV via unsecured component inputs, ICT cranks up and downgrades the image quality to that of DVD quality.
Us: I'm not sure that's very fair.
Them: Trust us, you have nothing to worry about. As long as you connect the disc player and your LCD TV using a HDMI cable you have nothing to worry about.

Us: HDMI?
Them: Yeah, the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) – it allows for high-def pictures and sound to be fired through a single cable and, it supports the DRM technology. Most new HDTVs have one.
Us: Mine doesn't.
Them: Oh
Us: What do you mean 'Oh'?
Them: Well, that means you're screwed.
Us: What?
Them: Obviously some people with older LCD or plasma screens will be affected somewhat by this
Us: How many is 'some'?
Them: Well, most of you actually.

Us: So, let me get this straight. The majority of people that have invested in high-definition capable screens in recent years will be able to watch high-def movies, just not in high definition because their sets don't have HDMI inputs and ICT will downgrade the image quality?
Them: Yes, that's it.
Us: That's crazy. These are the people who will most likely get the whole HD ball rolling.
Them: That is correct.
Us: Does alienating the majority of potential customers usually work when you're trying to launch a new format?
Them: It's not ideal but mainstream consumers are stupid. They'll cave in and buy another TV.
Us: What?
Them: Hold that thought, newsflash coming in. Apparently people not that stupid. Just really angry. It seems that the millions of people out there with older HDTVS are really riled up over this ICT thing. Revolt imminent.

Us: So now what will you do?
Them: Caving in seems like a viable option. So far Sony and a number of Hollywood studios have decided not to implement ICT on their movies. Universal has just ditched ICT too, although Warner is toughing it out.
Us: Phew. Common sense at last.
Them: Tactical withdrawal.
Us: Pardon?
Them: ICT is not gone, just put on ice.
Us: Huh?
Them: Well, if the world's consumers see that they can use their older HDTVs to view high-def movies, they will start buying players and movies like hotcakes. This gives the TV manufacturers a chance to ensure that all their new TVs have HDMI inputs. Within a year or two, sales of HDMI-equipped TVs will outnumber older HDTVs with no HDMI.
Us: So?
Them: Once that happens and those older TVs are outnumbered, we bring back ICT?

Us: But that's not fair. That means all those early adopters with older HDTVs, who helped get your new technology off the ground will be screwed. Again.
Them: Life sucks
Us: Pardon?
Them: We mean, trust us. It'll all be fine. Probably. µ
