Why Blu-Ray scares me

Now that Blu-Ray has all but won the HD format war I guess its a little late to post this but oh well, I’ll do it anyway.

Disclaimer: I am an HDDVD owner but this post is not a result of bitterness about my chosen format losing. The reason I’m posting here about (among others) is the actual reason I chose HDDVD. I also don’t want to talk about the pro’s and con’s of DRM or whether the DRM has been cracked and is accessible via other means. I am going to talk about the intentions of the format producers and what it means to consumers.
