Engadget is reporting on a piece in Reuters on Blu-Ray players:

"consumers should expect punishment for tinkering with their Blu-ray players, as many have done with current DVD players, for instance to remove regional coding. The new, Internet-connected and secure players will report any “hack� and the device can be disabled remotely."

Whatever comes after DVD certainly looks like it will benefit Hollywood and hardware makers a lot more than it will benefit the home user.
