Maybe its for the galactically dumb sheeple who don't (or won't) know how to download BT, Emule, XNews or Limewire?

Media riddled in the worst DRM on the planet, paying these guys anything is supporting the MPAA, RIAA to screw us over even more and their equipment is no better than many other makes but 2x the cost that come from the same factory's, i wonder why?
now they are embarking on another stupid marketing campaign.

but even as anti-consumer that blu-ray is, ppl seem to be purchasing this propertarian, DRM global price fixing, format. so you never can tell what the sheep will purchase after a few adverts on the TV created by the MPAA telling us all, it's the best thing since sliced bread.
you know unless you are doing something illegal DRM is not bad, unlike, blu-ray blocking connections (HDCPHDMI DRM), reporting your usage back to the studios (profile 2.0), self disables if a hack is found (other region discs now completely blocked vis SPDC DRM), and then reports this hack back to the studios including your ip address and unique serial number, and if you don't have your blu-ray connected upto the net you will be blocked from viewing any future content as new DRM is issued.
so as its sony with their huge blogging workforce anything is possible! but lets hope both fail to a formats based around a consumer friendly approach.
