(B) Cinavia enabled player, that will refuse to play the content if it does not match the restrictions.(A) The watermark embedded in audio-video content.The protection has two elements (one cannot work without the other): The base levels are analog, but on the top level there’s the watermark payload that contains some restrictions regarding the playback environment. It consists of a multi-level watermark that is embedded in the audio track and, while being theoretically transparent (not-audible) for the listener, it is supposed to resist various transformations of the audio stream like re-compression, analog playback & record, re-sampling, limited pitch shift, etc. So why bother? Just p***** the fuck out of everything.Cinavia is a protection for movies in theaters and on DVD, Blu-ray & UHD discs. With more money, you are "more right" in our society, and even have the ability to pass laws at your needs (such as USA's Digital Millennium Corporate Act). Media corporations are far larger and have far more money to hire a horde of ugly, stinky, bastard lawyers. Either way, with media corporations, you're fucked. Want to use it at a party? Oh, no, you bought a license, sir. Want the media replaced because it's broken? Oh, no, you bought the product, sir. Media corporations enjoy flip-flopping from "you get a license" and "you get the product" at their best interest. Then again, good luck defending that in a trial. If you also own the original, I doubt it's illegal, cording to the concept of a license (regardless of how stupid licenses and imaginary property are).

Media corporations made it so that the pirated product is a better product. Unlike the products you pay good bucks for, this is free of charge, devoid of Digital Restrictions Malware, and uses well-known, widely available formats. Probably by design, not by production.Īnother possibility would be to obtain your own copy from better sources than media corporations, such as a Pirate Bay torrent.
