DVD CCA trying to close copying loophole

From Skirge… 

Now the DVD CCA wants to make it a breach of contract to view content without the actual disc being present.  I guess they’re not happy with all the lawsuits they’re fighting and the war on piracy that they claim they’re winning.  This does not bode well at all for the home theater enthusiast!!!

"DVD Products, alone or in combination with other DVD Products, shall not be designed to descramble scrambled CSS Data when the DVD Disc containing such CSS Data and associated CSS Keys is not physically present in the DVD Player or DVD Drive (as applicable), and a DVD Product shall not be designed to make or direct the making of a persistent copy of CSS Data that has been descrambled from such DVD Disc by such DVD Product," reads the amendment.
