To be fair I suppose the horrible lack of innovation in the DVD player market, like the (NOT) widespread adoption of mpeg4 + CD-R video (VCD & SVCD) compatable players is partly to blame.

Well, actually the last time the court system would not let them (Betamax), but since they now OWN the court system they can shoot at will... Hobble, hobble, limp, limp, LAME. “When users log on and click to buy the films that capture their interest, IndieFlix burns them onto a DVD and ships them out. The price is $9.95.”
