Hollywood will not sell it's content without copy protection. If existing copy protection keeps getting hacked, they'll pull their content.
Hackers and supporters of hackers using the argument that "it's my property and I can do with it what I like" are terribly wrong. You do not have the right to watch HiDef content or use "your" property any way you like. Viewing HiDef content is a privilege. That privilege can be revoked at any time. You'll be able to watch anything you've purchased (or stolen) up to a certain point, but when Hollywood refuses to sell HiDef content, evetybody gets screwed by the actions of a few.
"You do not have the right to watch HiDef content or use "your" property any way you like."
Actually, the Supreme Court has said that you do have the right to make copies of things for your own personal use; unfortunatly, the DMCA says you can't break encryption, so they in essence make it illegal... Good luck enforcing it though.
Sorry, if I buy media, I should be able to do with it what I want. Luckily HD DVD doesn't have a'BD+" equivelent. Support it instead.

If Hollywood pulls their content, there'll be plenty of people ready to step in and fill that gap, so Hollywood loses.
