Catherine Girardeau talked with Jill Aldort of Yankee Group about this on-the-go web service. In other news, two companies, CinemaNow and MovieLink, announced this week they’ve licensed download-to-burn technology. We get Netflix’ reaction, and some analysis with Gartner’s Andrew Frank.

The CinemaNow “copy protection” simply writes errors to the disc that mess up computers (and computer programs). These errors are skipped over by DVD players.
In order to copy the disc, you should use a DVD disc repair program. I haven’t done it myselft; however, the CinemaNow sample DVD showed up on YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6HZtq3GXY) the day after it was released by CinemaNow. The person that posted it said he used CDCheck (http://www.kvipu.com/CDCheck/) CDCheck. You probably need to set the number of read error retries to low (or to 1) since the probably insert lots of errors.
The is another bull$%&t copy protection meant to fool Hollywood into thinking that digital content cannot be copied and prevent consumers from legitimate use (such as making backups) of the content that they pay for.
