Yes, but unlike many people seem to believe, a PC is not considered a DVD/CD player. A PC is listed under the equipment to copy stuff, hence when it comes down to playing your DVD/CD on a PC that your rights are seriously less than compared to playing it on a standalone player.

In our family we have like over 200 DVDs (keeping the CDs aside), comming from all over the world, with all different kinds of copy protections, regions, etc. None have any problems playing on our basic simple DVD player (region free player though*). Some do have problems on a PC since they are not meant to be played on a PC, it is as simple as that. You can complain that they can't be played on the PC, but you would have not much ground on it to back it up as that is simply not in the license... and thus illegal.

*which costed more, because regions are again something to do with licensing, distribution and all that other mambojumbo. You pay more because there are more compensation fees (or whatever it is called) - see one of my previous posts.

linx05, that flame you made there is seriously uncalled for I think.

I also don't skim over your post and just hit the reply button. You are talking about a specific copy protection and about playing (read: copying) DVDs via the PC. In regards to the PC see the first paragraph of this post. In regards to the rest, my point is that almost all the people complaining are exactly those who want to make illegal copies.

And the majority of people buying DVDs have also no problems at all playing them. The 'problems' which people yell about (note: coincidence or not, almost all people who are young and are on the net) are their own problem that they can't copy something.

Of course you have the right to complain when it is justified. But in this case, not much is justified, no matter if I, you, or anybody like it or not.
