What negative effect does DRM have in Blu-Ray playback on a 
Blu-Ray player?  Of the 40 or more NetFlix BR discs I've played 
so far, the only constant irritation is the crap that appears 
before the movie begins.  I haven't noticed any negatives I can 
specifically relate to DRM.

How many Blu-Ray discs have you played?
