Avatar Batting Records for Sale in Blu-ray
April 24th, 2010
Avatar, the film of James Cameron, not only batting records of box office in the cinema. The departure of the DVD version and Blu-ray also triumphs. The four days to go out on the sale in the United States has sold 2.7 million units. Curiously enough, this launch is not in 3D due to lack of televisions prepared for the three dimensions.
But this success is being tarnished by a problem that is not new to Sony. The anticopy system which leads the Blu-ray Avatar prevents the film can be seen in some readers, specifically of the brand Samsung. In the forums of Amazon there is a lively debate on this because it does not even updating the firmware in the reader to fix the problem.
Cameron is a strong supporter of the systems DRM (digital rights management) which is embedded in the disks to avoid the piracy of content. The problem is that while the version in high definition runs smoothly for the sites of downloads free, the customer who buys the Blu-ray and have a reader incompatible may not see the film. The blockade would caused by the BD+ anticopy system works in this case and that calls for continuous updating of the reader on the part of its manufacturer to combat piracy. It is based on an encryption that must be interpreted by the reader to decode the content.
