Sony DVD DRM breaks own DVD Player.

Sony has released another DRM scheme on at least two known DVDs which will cause certain DVD hardware players to crash. The irony is that one of the models is a recent Sony DVP-CX995V and no updated firmware is available as of yet. No word on whether the DRM from Sony will crash other brands or models. More importantly no word on whether the DRM has made any significant dent in the ability to make copies of the movies in question. If you see “Stranger than Fiction” or “The Holiday” on a bit torrent site or usenet then Sony has failed.
