Sony Pictures DVD's have a new a copy protection that makes the movies unplayable on some Sony (& other makes) DVD players! « Sony Strikes Again:

Sony Tech: We know about this problem.  Its our new copy protection that’s making these discs unplayable in some players including our own,  we do not intend to change the copy protection.  The only correction to this problem is a firmware update to your player.  The electronics division know about this and should have given you this information.

Me: OK send me the firmware update.

Sony Tech: We do not have one as yet.

Me: OK (a bit frustrated) when will it be available?

Sony Tech: It could be 2 weeks it could be a month, we don’t know.

He then took my phone number and  said ”they” would let me know when the firmware update is available, but declined to take my address saying that they would get that when the update was available.
