Once again, let's try to not jump to conclusions. Here is a summary of the situation so far : 1- e-on experimented with a system that embeds a license key inside content from Cornucopia, in an attempt at simplifying validation of the content (the current system with purchased plants requires to enter a license key for each plant you install... I have done that for 3 re-install so far, I for one would welcome the encrypted files if they can remove that step). 2- The update they released for the launch of the site turned out to be flawed and resulted in .vob files being locked or unreadable. They said they are working on fixing that. 3- The option to lock content has been available since Vue 4. It is a separate issue from the ecryption of a license key inside files. It appears that too was affected by the update. 4- They shut down the site since the launch and have announced that a newsletter and a poll regarding how the site should work will be sent out shortly. Please try to keep your discussions from degrading into fights like 'he said, she said' or I will have to 'moderate' the discussion :) Software is a delicate business. These kind of things happen. For example, I just had Norton Firewall lock down any email I get from Outlook for the past 4 weeks (after receiving an automated update). I had to disable their firewall and use Windows XP firewall instead because of that.
