SharonB, you do realize that SonyBMG is currently compensating the victims of Mediamax used on their music CDs for damages, right?, and both HD DVD and Blu-Ray are already licensing AACS, A FACT EASILY CONFIRMED with a simple google search, on the otherhand, I cant find even 1 article, PR, or any other information source clearly stating that either format is currently looking at or even considering the use of Mediamax, I anxiously await any link you can provide to prove different.

Sharon, the new DRM they are tweaking is AACS, has nothing to do with Mediamax, here, for your DD pleasure...

Next-gen DVD format DRM gets green light
On track for March launch, HD DVD starts promo tour

By Paul Sweeting -- Video Business, 2/16/2006

FEB. 16 | A critical hurdle to the launch of both the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats was cleared late Wednesday when negotiators reached agreement on an interim license for the AACS copy-protection system slated to be used by both high-definition formats, sources involved in the discussions said.
The interim agreement will permit hardware makers and disc replicators in both format camps to obtain the secret encryption keys needed to start pressing disc and shipping players capable of reading the discs.

Does this help you Kenco?
