Sony Blu-Ray Has No Movie Playback?

CDfreaks.com announces that the new Sony BWU-100A blu-ray drive is completely ridiculous.

Quote:
While the drive would be more than capable of reading Blu-ray discs for the playback of HD video content, the problem is due to the main issue that plagues all next generation formats for movies: The Infamous Copy protection. With the lack of PCs available that have HDCP enabled graphics cards and playback software still in its development, Sony has decided to leave out support for commercial BD movies altogether. However, the drive will still be able to play back user-created HD content, such as from a high definition camcorder, where no copy protection is required.
Don't believe me? Read on...

Is this the start of problems caused by the ridiculousness of the COPY PROTECTION SQUAD? Why can't we just all share and just stop paying Hollywood talent a bazillion dollars!!!???
