The approximation behindBlu - ray Managed Copysounds good — it’ll get you make one full - res stand-in copy of a Blu - ray platter , and studio apartment are required to support it beginning next year . But demand brand new hardware is just the start .
So , the Managed Copy spec , long in the making , has just been finalized by the Advanced Access Content System License Administrator — theBlu - ray DRM dudes — and now it has to be finalized by the studios , manufacturers , Blu - ray licenser , and likely , the Blu - mpa Lumpas .

Supposing they finalize it , then you still require hardware that supports Managed Copy — not thecheap Blu - ray playeryou got this Christmas , or even one you ’ll buy this Christmas . We ’re talking 2010 . And even if the correct player falls off the back of a hand truck in 2009 , the AACS sanction waiter wo n’t be running until 2010 .

Okay , it ’s 2010 , and you have the correct ironware . So you pop up in your disk and tell the player to authorize a managed copy — which the studio can charge you for , so it ’s not like you ’re making a transcript , you ’re purchasing an additional copy at a depleted cost , one using stuff that you provide . ( Raise your hand in high spirits if think studio apartment are gon na not turn on . Okay , everyone throw poppycock at these people . )
If you decide it ’s deserving it , you could put the deal written matter on another Blu - beam saucer , DVD , Windows Media DRM - compatible computer storage , SD bill , etc . Oh yeah , if you grab the 50 GB full - Ra written matter , where are you gon na salt away ’em all ? What a mickle . And besides , whohonestly learn real Blu - ray ? We ’ll take thefar simpler Digital Copy , thanks . [ Video BusinessviaBlu - ray ]
