I think the point was you are assuming that if you have a movie in a mkv container then you're automatically a pirate.

It's perfectly possible you want to encode your own blu-rays and DVDs to watch on a media center at will without the hassle of fiddling with discs. And mkv is probably the best container out there for this at the moment - save for it's somewhat more limited support than older containers.

If Sony doesn't support mkv for piracy reasons, then why do they bother supporting others like avi and mp4? You can easily get your pirated wares in a supported format if you wanted.

I'm out of this thread, All the crazy folk seem to come out at night. Then in the morning someone comes along and backs my point up.

You are deluded if you think the most popular reason for wanting MKV support is to play movies you yourself have encoded,

On the other point. No this won't end "Sony" No one said it would!.

As far as I know this is hacked way more than the 360 now, you can run anything on it with the root key, totally unsigned code.

Last thing sony want is people illegally downloading HD movies and playing them on sony created hardware.

What about people that borrow a friends DVD or rent mail order, copy it onto SONY DVD-R media using a Sony DVD burner to play back in there sony ps3?

Should sony have measures in place to prevent this ?

Only on debug PS3s at the moment, working on a way to get the file and install on a retail one.
All machines have been hacked the Wii is still the easiest one all you need is an DS card and google powers, 360 requires more effort but its still fairly easy. This hasnt affected software sales as far as I know but itrs all a wait and see.
