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.
You’ll be able to buy this (iMovie for iPhone) right on your phone for $4.99… if we approve it.

Sidenote: The demo of iMovie was pretty damn impressive
We never saw ourselves in a platform war with Microsoft - maybe that’s why we lost.
There’s no video of Steve Jobs’ entire chat yesterday (and least, not yet) but be sure to check the videos on this page: there’s a tonne of brilliant soundbites.
Jobs not only built and then rebuilt his company around some very strong opinions about digital life, but he’s willing to defend them in public. Vigorously. Bluntly. At two in the morning on a weekend.
Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
Weird that Steve posted Thoughts on Flash at Apple.com instead of his normal blog, daringfireball.net.
[Google’s] don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.
The State of the iPad Address - Inevitable, yet brilliant.
The problem with designing something that’s totally idiot proof is that society is always designing a better idiot.
