NOT an award wining DRM system

Steven Spielberg might not be able to participate in the race to the British Academy Of Films And Televison Arts Awards for his latest movie, "Munich".
The culprit? An over-complicated DRM system aiming at preventing the Honourable Members of said Academy to leak their screening copies on P2P networks.
Actually it was a double screw-up: first the DVDs were time-bombed and were sent TOO late, thus a new batch had to be made and sent again. BUT the DVDs of the second batch were Region 1-coded (USA) when the UK is region 2 (like the rest of Europe). So the Jury Members were unable to watch the DVDs. This is all the more ridiculous that each Member has a SPECIAL DVD player that can only play the DVD sporting a dedicated serial number (and vice versa: you can't play the DVD on any other player than the one it was made for). So they didn't really need the region-coding on top of that.
[moose: we knew everything about DRM schemes being a pain in the a** of base customers, but now that it starts messing with big shots in the media industry, maybe they'll become reasonable and develop some form of well-balanced scheme... well, let's hope Spielberg gets REALLY angry, that might make things move]
