No no, if HD-DVD had won this never would have happened... because HD-DVD never produced a single burner! Ever! Problem solved! Multi-format just looks for reasons to blame Blu-ray for everything. Gotta let it go some time, my friend.
Now what I don't understand is why this WON'T be available in the US. I have a DTCP compliant D-VHS deck that records HDTV over firewire from the CableCo's MPEG2 TS. Blu-ray with AACS can do exactly the same thing... indeed that seems to be exactly what that diagram shows! So what's the holdup??

The media conglomerates were right all along, DRM does make today's technology simple.

yes, DRM is simple - it simply stops things working!

Oops my above comment was supposed to go below Multi-Format-Mayhem.
I think paul-engadget's comment should be the caption on the image: "DRM is simple!"
