They finally got it through their heads that it only hurts legitimate purchasers instead of the people who just leeched it off of bittorrent drm free.

It has to validate EVERYTIME you try to play..hence the problem.

I wonder just how much corporate profit went down the tubes just because these a-holes never listen to the end user.

I hope they feel the money they used to bribe ... uh, "lobby" congress to pass DRM was better spent.
