Sony to release movies for PSP

How advanced is this copy right protection. Whould there be any way to copy these discs because that would be kool.

....people don't know yet are there even any movies in japan for psp? I don't think so

im sure these will be copyable, sony is going to release the UMD format still right?

What is meant by this: "Unfortunately the movies will use "advanced copy protection mechanism" in order to block unauthorized copying of the movies". Basically it is saying it is rather unfortunate unauthorised copying is not possible with the advanced copyright. Whats unfortunate about it? Isnt thatw hat Sony wants!!!

rdevanat: Having a copy protection on movies/CDs/whatever: a) restricts "fair use rights" available in most countries b) wastes consumers' money, as companies spend millions -- if not billions -- for these schemes despite the fact that they will get cracked eventually anyway. And obviously all development costs are always added to the prices that consumers pay for those items.

haha, they will probably use arccos or something else that AnyDVD can crack before anybody ever notices the protection is in place.

There is already a conversion tool to convert movies onto a memory card to be watched on the PSP, I have an imported version and it works a cracker :P

People will crack it. :-)

There is the conversion software which may work since you can hook up your psp to your pc and transfer data to your memory card but only time will tell.

i cant copy troy or gone in 60 seconds with any software any ideas

i tried DVD Decrypter the newest one can figure out how to up date it it wont says timed out. i tried shrink x copy everything
