Sony backs off on Blu-ray analogue copy protection
According to an article in Sound and Vision Magazine , Sony has stated that its first movie releases in the Blu-Ray format will not degrade the signal resolution when movies are played on older TVs that don't support the latest copyright-protected HDMI connections. Quoting Dan Eklund of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the article says that Sony has no plans to implement the 'Image Constraint Token' feature of the AACS copy-protection technology that lets producers reduce the resolution on analogue video outputs.
It also says that the first Blu-Ray titles are slated to appear in the US on 23rd May. We'll be looking at the first Blu-Ray players and PC drives from Samsung and Pioneer when they arrive at PCW over the next couple of weeks.
