More importantly, just how deep into the chain of hardware will Cinavia detection wind up existing. It is being implemented in standalone Blu-Ray players and some media playback devices like the WD Live. Is there a chance we might wind up seeing Cinavia quietly slipped into receivers and televisions? That way even if you used a standalone media player or software player that ignored the watermark you still wouldn't actually get around the problem. How willing would the manufacturers be to adding this and in what manner could it be imposed on them [if at all] if they are unwilling?

Till date except for the single post on the official forum, I haven't seen anyone else complain about Cinavia issues with any of the WD TV models anywhere. Most probably the poster on the official forum was mistaken too, 'cos otherwise I'd love to see a snap of the Cinavia error message being displayed by a WD TV. So I find it funny that even mods on the SlySoft forum are mentioning Cinavia detection on the Live as if it has been conclusively proved. Till a Live owner can test the affected titles with preferably the latest FW installed, IMO the Live is Cinavia free. "Innocent till proven guilty" is what I say!

P.S. Dave, one possible problem with your testing the German release (i.e. any language disc sold in Germany) of The Losers or Repo Men is that unless you know for sure that the copy you've bought has Cinavia on it, how can you be certain that your WD TV has Cinavia detection or not? If you check a non-Cinavia disc rip, obviously the player won't complain and you might mistakenly conclude that it isn't affected by this DRM crap. The only way to confirm the presence of Cinavia as of now seems to be to try and play the disc/rip on a PS3 first. If the PS3 complains, then Cinavia is present, and so the same disc/rip can then be tested elsewhere.

QUESTION

http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=27...p;postcount=676

What is based this statement that also the WD life of which is affected, and what is the error message when WD life?
because two users report WD 2 and WD life plus "The Loser" ran successfully. What me something surprising can because just the WD 2 and WD life with exactly the same Sigma chip equipped. so if the WD 2 runs it would have to go at the WD life also.

My statements were based on the little I've heard and read related to [some reported] issues with the WD Live. The information about the WD Live may or may not be entirely accurate. I really have no idea at this point. At the time I made the post I believed there was an actual issue.

I haven't really spent any time reading about it in other forums because I lack the time. I use my Oppo BDP-83 for standalone Blu-Ray playback and I stream to it via a few different DLNA streaming applications from one of my PCs so I'm not impacted by any of this [for the time being].
