WE keep this industry going and basically if I can’t enjoy what they sell me and I can’t trust “here’s a neat feature” to be an actual working feature, I will stop buying. The legitimate user has been pushed way too far and we’ve always been subject to test beds and market flops that empty our pockets. I hope that this makes what was probably not too big a deal for the industry giants into something that cripples them and their outrageous profits…. What really pisses me off is that I am not doing anything illegal as long as I own it!!!! Read the shrink wrap licensing agreement on these things. Star Wars in the Back to the Future case, etc) Instead I just turn on my PS3 and choose what I want from a huge list of MY PAID COLLETION of movies… Then I don’t have to go looking for my movie (which my kids misplace them constantly. It’s so much better to just store those for safe keeping, dump them all to a 4TB drive and host it on a pc in my house. I don’t want to d1ck around with a bunch of discs.

What do the studios and Sony actually think “media servers” are for? Watching home movies? I guarantee if it were known on the update “You acknowledge that taking this update will completely remove the sole purpose of having a media server” nobody would have taken it. This is such a b1tch move by MPAA and AASC industry moderators. It’s annoying, but hey at least you can finish your movie! Do bear in mind this is only temporary and you will have to do this every time the Ps3 hits a Cinavia watermark, which seems to be about 4 or 5 times per movie. It will start back off where you paused it and the sound will be re-enabled until the next watermark. Then go back to movies > media server > movie folder and play your movie. When you are watching a movie and the sound cuts out and you get the Cinavia warning, simply pause the movie (X) and back out to the main menu (O) and then slide over to settings > date and time and advance the year by one. While you can find hundreds of posts about how to get rid of Cinavia protection from your Playstation 3 by patching it to an older update, or there’s some kind of sketchy software plugin I found that seemed to be a complete scam, I’ve only found one way to quickly get rid of it temporarily.

A few updates ago, Sony included Cinavia protection on their Sony Playstation 3 and it’s been a love-hate relationship ever since.
