Don't be careless on a MAC. Bought the Star Wars III DVD 2 weeks ago and learned that the copy protection hinders to play the DVD on a PC or MAC with WinDVD or PowerDVD. If you have autorun enabled (which I have not, at least due to SONY), a Shockwave Flash Player is started, which shows your DVD, but with only a Play, Pause and Fast Forward/Backward Button. Had to make a copy to be able to have a normal viewing experience on my notebook. So they also targeted on the MAC here.
I think this is the wrong message from the content industry. Buy it and you get a virus or you can't use it. Download it from the internet and it works. Is that what they want?
