And in my opinion an UTTER waste of time and money. This technology was the first to require you to have the specific decoder pre-installed in tv's or computer monitors to watch it. Someone cracked blu-ray very quickly after it came out, but believe it or not, regular dvd's have to be decoded as well. Regular dvd's have to be de-scrambled when they are ripped otherwise it looks like a scrambled television channel when you watch them.One of the coolest things you can do in some spare time (over the summer) is take an old computer and turn it into a home theatre! This means streaming movies and tv shows directly to your television just like netflix! Cause, let's face it, netflix doesn't have all the movies in the universe.

Ripping movies to a digital device is illegal though. Digital Millenium Copyright Act doesn't allow you to
alter a movie you already paid for...what? This was probably to hinder illegal distribution, but what about the people who actually pay for movies?! The "digital copy" you currently get with a movie only allows you to have a copy on one computer. Period. You can already buy digital device formatted movies, but I'm not paying for another (digital) copy of a movie just to prove that I'm not going to distribute it to someone else!! Also, I'm a HUGE blu-ray fan, and I have blu-ray rips because the diagram above has created many problems with playback on my computer. Problems that kept me from watching movies I PAID FOR!
With UltraViolet these issues may be somewhat changed, but I foresee format issues for those of us who already hate Hollywood technology.
