Spielberg ran into trouble with DRM

DRM is most likely one the most disliked things you can discuss with today’s consumers. Right now neither Steven Spielberg nor movie reviewers in Great Britain are very fond of DRM as the discs that was sent out to the latter from the first was encoded the wrong way, which simply resulted in a bunch of useless discs. Combining this with that the reviewers has special players developed to hinder any form of copying made it completely impossible for them to watch the movie. Spielberg and his new movie Munich, which takes place during the Olympic games of ’72 in Munich where 11 Israelian athletes was killed, will now miss out on many of the votes it would have needed for when Bafta (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) hand out its awards.
