I bought the movie UP on Blu-Ray DVD from Disney and it came with a digital download, that was great so I could put it on my portable devices. So I put [UP] on my iPad, and I bought the VGA adapter for my iPad and I plugged [the iPad] into my projector - and because I bought everything, I couldn’t play it because its High Definition Copy Protection stopped me.
Had I ripped it, reversed the copy-protection, or downloaded it from BitTorrent I would have been able to play it. Can you talk at all about how HDCP is helping the anti-piracy effort?
A great question to Steve Jobs, transcribed from his interview at this year’s D8 conference.
Incidentally, the full video (and audio) from the interview and Q&A are now available to download free on iTunes.
