BD-J + Internet allows for Pay per View disc options... - Blu-ray Forum

Disney will love this option...

Internet connection
The BD-J system supports basic Internet protocols like TCP/IP and HTTP. The player may connect to the disc publisher's web site to unlock certain content on the disc (after certain conditions, like payment, are met), or dynamically display certain info (like theater playing schedules for a movie) on the screen. The disc's program may be extended with JPEG pictures or audio fragments downloaded from the Internet, or it can even stream full new audio/visual content to Local Storage.

I guess that this is convenient but could easily end up with pay per view discs like DiVX.

It will be interesting to see how this is used...

Cheers!

I'm not a fan of extras so hopeful this issue won't affect me. I don't want anything to do with PPV movies. If I buy the BD I want to play it as often as I want, whenever I want. I will settle for nothing less.

Hell screw Disney

What porn company wouldn't love to load up a disc with smut and have you purchase new vids by unlocking content with your credit card.

I think that's why they are interested in BD over the potentially cheaper HD-DVD
